This very nice home is in a walkable neighborhood with many conveniences. There is a very good grocery store just a block from the property, and some excellent restaurants (eg, Range) within just few blocks' walk. Public transportation is pretty convenient, though we also used Lyft and Uber. We were in Chicago for the marathon, and this was a convenient location. While the house is on a somewhat busy street, there was very little noise, so everyone slept fine.
The house has been updated in many ways, including a very nice kitchen with everything you need. The stairs to the 2nd floor loft bedroom are a little narrow, so getting bags around required some muscle.
The house itself is quite interesting in its history and design. We enjoyed our stay very much.
David responded really promptly on the few occasions I needed to reach him with questions.
I recommend the Rectory for a visit to beautiful Chicago.
