Best for
Best suited to Cubs fans and anyone who wants to be in the middle of Wrigleyville, with quick access to bars, restaurants, and transit. It’s also a strong fit for groups who value apartment conveniences like a kitchen, patio/balcony space, and in-unit entertainment (cable TV and Wi‑Fi) over traditional hotel services.
Travel tips
The building is noted as being very close to the CTA “El,” which is convenient for getting around but can bring train noise at various hours—pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. For transit, Belmont and Southport stations are both within roughly a 10-minute walk, and Clark & Cornelia bus service is even closer. If you plan to drive, verify parking logistics in advance due to conflicting information between listed amenities and the source note about no on-site parking.
What guests say
Reviews consistently highlight the location as a major advantage, especially for walking to Wrigley Field. Guests also mention the apartment being clean and well-kept, and they frequently call out responsive, helpful hosting. A recurring drawback is noise from the nearby elevated train, which some guests found disruptive at all hours. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with many indicating they would return.
