i loved staying at david and meredith's beautiful studio! it is nice and quiet tucked away from the street, but in close walking distance to all highland park has to offer. i didn't have a car, but had no trouble getting around. the gold line is close and the 81 bus to downtown in two blocks away. the studio itself has anything you would need - i really appreciated the coffee and all the different ways to make it! the bed is super comfortable and there is a tv with netflix if you feel like staying in. it feels like a nice home away from home
