Chicago holiday apartment

This beautiful home is in an upscale neighborhood close to shops and amazing restaurants. It is spacious, well-appointed with all the amenities.
Just north of the hustle and bustle of downtown but close enough to hop on the transit for a short trip to the Loop's active core.
Our gracious host provided us with tips on where to go or leaf through her very thorough information binder that is provided at the house.
I would go back in a heartbeat and feel no need to scource out any other accomodation. Apparently she has two other smaller properties for smaller groups in the same neighborhood. What a refreshing alternative to a hotel room.. I really felt at home.
I would definitely recommend this rental unit. Thanks!

Upon arrival to Chicago for celebration of a family wedding, Teri and staff were so helpful and flexible - accommodating in every way. We actually had the wedding rehearsal dinner and an after wedding barbeque at this home. It was perfect. We used both the house and the back yard. It was perfect. The home is beautifully decorated, yet still has that 'at home' feel to it.
The arrangement of the rooms allowed for a nice flow and privacy at the same time.
The location of the home is also convenient to downtown, the subway and local restaurants, business and shopping. It worked out so well for other out of town guests to visit and congregate and still feel like I was having them at my home. I could not have asked for a better place to welcome all of my friends and family. I feel so lucky to have found this home for such a special time in my life.

I would definitely recommend this home for family visits to Chicago.

Five women from Toronto arrived at Teri's Chicago Guest House, Clarke Suite in Wrigleyville in the pouring rain and dark. There to meet us was Teri. She knew it was my 60th birthday weekend and couldn't have been more warm and welcoming. As we walked into the suite there was a collective gasp as we all exclaimed how beautiful the suite was and how it was even better than the photos on the website. This was the beginning of a fabulous weekend stay. Teri has such attention to detail and all of those details are of the highest quality. The furniture is in wonderful shape and in very good taste, the bed linens are clearly 100% Egyptian cotton and the pillows are to die for. We all looked at the tags on the pillows to see where they came from so we could buy some when we got home. There were ample towels for 5 women to use for bathing, etc.
The kitchen was stellar and we spent a lot of time in there, congregating in the morning over the gourmet coffee (another thing we wanted to buy as it was so delicious) to having cocktails and snacks in the evening prior to going out for dinner. The kitchen has dinner service including cutlery, glasses, stemware for a massive party if you wanted to have one. The appliances were all stainless steel and included a gas stove and a double refrigerator with ice maker. Better than my kitchen at home. If we hadn't wanted to do so much sight seeing we could have stayed in the apartment all weekend.
Teri has a fabulous binder with all the local sites, restaurants, shops etc including very detailed maps. She took time to get us orientated so that when we walked out the door that first night, in the dark and rain, we felt confident about where we were going.
The location itself is great. we felt safe and enjoyed the neighbourhood atmosphere. Everywhere we went people were friendly and helpful to us. We found the transit system to be very easy to master. We didn't plan in advance and yet every meal was delicious and exactly what we wanted. We took the architectural boat tour and highly recommend it. Chicago is a beautiful city and good for walking.
I not only would recommend Teri's Clark Suite but already have. My friends and I have been raving about our trip since we returned and everyone is asking for the link. It would also be great for a family or families as the kitchen and bedroom facilities make travelling with kids so much easier.
On top of all this, Teri surprised me with gourmet cupcakes for my birthday. Wonderful.
