Loved this home in Rogers Park! We came from a recommendation from a friend that stayed with their family last summer and it lived up to the hype! Had tons of space, and a fully stocked kitchen. I was also glad the dinning area and living room had ample seating. Sometimes a place will sleep 8 or so, but only had dinning and living room space for half that. Also had an office space in the front room, that connected via doorway to the living room and one of the bedrooms which was very handy. We enjoyed a quick walk to the beach, Leone and Loyola, and the little bluebird cafe was great for casual food for our family. There was also a great playground next to the cafe. We traveled with our 13 and 9 year old and also meet up with their cousins ( 6 and 15 months) and the beach/playground situation was great! The front porch was also a favorite place to hang! Getting downtown was a bit of ordeal, but we knew it would be. From our experience, that’s just Chicago. If you want to spend a lot of time downtown, a hotel right downtown would be the way to go, but if you want a roomy place to spread out, enjoy the beach, and be a quick drive to places like Andersonville for the shops and restaurants, this was a great homebase!
