This was the perfect setting for our annual girls trip. We are 17 college friends in our 40's and we gather once a year to spend some quality time reminiscing, drinking wine and checking out a fun city. We always do it in early April, and would have come to Chicago years ago, but the weather always scared us off. It turned out to be pretty gross outside all weekend, but because of this spacious home it didn't really matter. There were so many areas for us to congregate and chat, and the dining area was just b huge, we actually all fit at the table- which has never happened!!! The place was well maintained and very clean. It was much nicer than we expected in a big expensive city like Chicago. Location is great, you can walk to restaurants, shops Wrigley Field and all of the nightlife. Also worth noting- We were able to park 5 cars (Steve only claims it fits 4, but we made them fit). We put 2 on the street also with no trouble. Steve mentioned this would be tough if there was a cubs game, but we missed that- Maybe next time. Thank you to Steve and Claudia for having us, we loved it!
