Feelin’ Nauti Near Wrigley

I took a perfectly nice little flat on a beautiful street and filled it with great things...I want my guests to feel less like they are at an Airbnb and more like their 'very tidy but quirky friend' gave them keys to the flat for a weekend away. Super easy access to Wrigley Field, the bustling Southport shopping corridor, and all of the 'Boystown' nightlife.
