Carin was an amazing host, she was so kind and helpful. My flight got in earlier than the check in time but without even having to ask she said come right over which was such a huge because I had a huge suit case and had been traveling all night. Carin gave me some really great tip on what to do in the city and she new the best breakfast spot within walking distance. Batter and berries and she was right the best french toast I would ever had! Carin's apartment was so great, so much bigger and brighter than I expected from the photos, it was perfect, every thing you could possible need was available, I even did some laundry towards the end of my trip! One of the other added bonuses of Carin's apartment was having a TV with cable, when running around Chicago all day It was really nice to go back to the apartment at night and relax and watch TV and heat up those left over Giordano's pizza that your bound to have on a trip to Chicago.

When coming to Chicago for location you want to be away from the loop. Lincoln park and North lakewood avenue is where you want to stay. The location of Carin's house is that, your within walking distance of bars and restaurants. Wrigleyville is where every thing is happening and its about a 15 minute walk or $5 cab ride, really great bars and obviously right next to Wrigley Field, I definitely recommend doing the tour of Wrigley Field.

So besides bars and restaurants Carin's apartment is also really close to the Lincoln Park Zoo which free and in the heart of Lincoln park. I walked to it but you can take the train for 1 or 2 stops depending on what part of Lincoln Park you want to start at. Also to get down to visit Millennium park you are within walking distance of all the trains.

I can honestly say when I would talk to people during my stay in Chicago I would rave about the apartment. I couldn't believe how great the apartment was and for the price too! You won't find a hotel in Chicago with the same amenities and location and comfort I experienced during my stay at Carin's apartment. I have already shared the link to the apartment with so many friends.
