Our stay at Charlie's was great! The little loft was great for my partner and I but I wouldn't suggest any kids or more than 2 people. Awesome that i was right around the corner from the Roosevelt Train Station which connects to quite a few train lines to get you around. Walking distance to Soldier Field, Field Museum and many other cool Chicago places to visit. There are some great places to eat within a block or two from the stay like the famous Giordano's Pizza! Asian Outpost was an awesome restaurant right across the street with great food and STRONG drinks. There are also a few pubs up and down the street if you want a drink or some night life. The train IS right outside the window but was easy to get used to for us and never woke us up in the middle of the night. More noticeable in the morning. Charlie was very quick to respond with any questions we had and was kindly flexible with our checkout time as we had a late flight out and wanted to explore Chicago without our bags in the rain.
