The studio is a lovely, peaceful place to spend time in but is only a short bus ride from city life. The shops and bars/coffee shops nearby (just a few minutes walk) mean that you don't have to go far for everything you might need. The beautiful Western Springs Park is only a short walk away. Kate provides a "hop" card which makes getting around with public transport easy even for people who don't know the city. Also the "starter breakfast" provided was very generous (and delicious). Kate gave me lots of tips tailored to my interests, which I really appreciated. On street parking was easy to find. Check in and check out were both uncomplicated and quick. Over all I had a very pleasant stay here and can recommend it!
