My wife and I rented Tessa's place in German Village and took our 3 kids. For anyone wondering if this is a good location for a family, the answer is a resounding Yes! We had such a great time. We were right next to Schiller Park, which had great areas to walk around and a really nice playground. German Village itself is an incredible neighborhood with walking distance to great shops and restaurants. The house was very clean and had great modern touches. There were some toys and other items for our little ones that made traveling with them much easier. It was also very quiet as well and we were all able to get a good night's sleep. I can't recommend Tessa's place enough.
