**WILDLIFE** You will encounter wildlife while staying at the property. Here is what you can expect most commonly: Spiders and ants are common in Chicago. They get as high as 95th floor of John Hancock building. While we do our best to combat them, it is nearly impossible during high season. Bees, wasps, yellow jackets are abundant throughout the city. While we take care of any nests on the property, I cannot control them in the air and beyond my boundaries.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD: The house is in east Old Town- best neighborhood in Chicago for both families or if you are looking to have fun. While the street itself is very quiet, tree lined and barely has cars passing by, as soon as you turn the corner, you are in the center of everything! Wells street restaurants and bars are steps away. Lincoln Park with the zoo, farm, pond, open spaces and farmers market is a 7-10 min. walk. North avenue beach is the same distance. It is perfect for walks, picnics, boat rides or good old fun in the sand. The beaches are free to the public and have breathtaking city views. Grocery shopping is made easy, seeing as Plum Market and Jewel are located right in the neighborhood. Nearby coffee shops include a 24 hour Starbucks and La Fournette. There are 103 restaurants within a 15 minute walk including some of Chicago's top restaurants including Kamehachi, Topo Gigio, The Fireplace Inn, and Woodies Flat. Bars and lounges are abundant on Wells and are all 1-2 minute walk. Shopping in Old Town is a unique experience; the majority of shops in this neighborhood are boutiques rather than well-known chain stores. Therefore, each and every store is cozy, intimate and filled with one-of-a-kind goods. The Lincoln Park Zoo is a world of wildlife in the shadow of skyscrapers. The Second City only two blocks away and it is a famous theater that specializes in sketch comedy and improv, and has been delighting audiences for over 50 years. Oak street and beginning of Michigan avenue is about 15-20 minute walk.
GETTING AROUND: The house is a five-minute walk from the Brown Line and the Purple Line at the Sedgwick stop and an eight-minute walk from Red line at Clark. It takes be about 15 min to walk to Michigan Ave and Wells Street bars are a minute away. Buses and cabs are also easily accessible. It is about a 3-minute drive to get onto Lake Shore drive at LaSalle and about 8 minutes to Kennedy expressway at North Avenue
The house is best for bachelor, bachelorette and friend groups as well as business travelers. It is not child proof.

About the host
Hosted by Alexandra Belcher
I live around the corner from this house so not only I am nearby if you need help but also think it is the best area in the city.
Why they chose this property
I love Old Town. This is where my family and I have lived for the last 15 years. I love that you can walk anywhere- downtown to the shops and restaurants, to the beach, park and the zoo or even take a walk around the streets with unique houses. My favorite activity in the summer is people watching sitting outside at one of the Wells street cafes
