Heather and JP’s place is absolutely gorgeous - the decor is really interesting and they’ve clearly put a lot of thought into every detail. It was also spotless.
We were in Chicago for the marathon and it was the perfect place for our stay. The bed was super comfy and the bath was exactly what I needed after running. The area is very quiet and we didn’t hear a thing during the night.
Heather and JP had kindly left some beer and a little bottle of champagne in the fridge and lovely toiletries in the bathroom, and the records and magazines were a really nice touch. We cooked one night and found everything we needed in the well-equipped kitchen.
We didn’t get to explore as much as we would have liked but apparently Division Street and Chicago Avenue have a lot going on and Wicker Park is within walking distance. We also walked to Fullerton Market for dinner one evening and it seemed like a buzzy area. The apartment is a short walk away from either Chicago or Division stations, which are both on the blue line, so it’s easy to get to Downtown.
It was too cold to spend time in the garden, but we definitely would have done if it had been warmer - it is beautiful. We were lucky enough to bump into Heather and JP when we went out to take a look and they are super nice - we had a great chat with them and met their dogs, who are all very friendly, and their new little kitten (all rescued!). We loved staying at Heather and JP’s place and would recommend it 100%!
