Charlie's place was perfect for our first "fun" visit to Chicago! The location was great - a block from a primary L-train station and DIVVY bike station, walking distance to the lake-shore and aquarium, and close to some really good restaurants and markets. The building was an older historic building, which we loved. Yes, the L-train passing right outside the window was a bit noisy, but it also provided character to the location (ear-plugs helped for sleeping). Charlie was a fantastic host - very responsive and pro-active in communicating with us both prior to and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely re-book here if we find ourselves back in Chicago!!
