We stayed during the Memorial Day holiday weekend with our two kids and have a great time! The condo was better than pictured and my kids loved the toys that Barbara had, extra bonus! The neighborhood is very safe and we were able to walk to the lake and around to get ice cream. Definitely a better option with kids than staying in the city. Every attraction we went to was within 30 minutes or less from the condo. Barbara was very helpful and responded timely to any questions. We would stay here again if we visit Chicago again!
