We enjoyed our stay in the carriage house. The West Loop is a nice neighborhood. There are two CTA stops (one Blue Line and the other Green) -- both are a 10 minute walk from the Air BnB. We found plenty of restaurants (Harold's Chicken, Kaiser Tiger) and a wine shop/gourmet grocery store (West Loop Grocery?) near the Air BnB. There are two parks nearby (Skinner Park had an amazing community garden). The carriage house is located in the alley, but the alley is well-maintained by the homeowners on the street.
The carriage house has steps up to the bedroom and down to the kitchen/bathroom. The bed was comfortable. My son slept fine on the pull-out sofa. I used the small closet by the bed as a workspace. The wifi worked perfect throughout the carriage house. The kitchen had everything we needed. The place is not big but worked well for two people.
Mimi and Paul gave detailed instructions on how to check in/out of the Air BnB. We needed another blanket and a can opener. They responded quickly and provided both without any problem. We would stay again because of the location and convenience to the CTA. Thank you!!!
