Our stay @ Ami's apartment was exactly what we were looking for! We stayed for the entire month of June, 2021 while visiting family, and our time there could not have been better. Some of the highlights:
(1) the location is excellent - many great restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, etc., are all within walking distance or very short Uber rides. Access to the loop is very easy, too. We took advantage of several great dining experiences right in Wicker Park, as well as in the loop;
(2) one additional benefit to this location - entrance to the Bloomingdale Trail ("the 606") is a short walk away, providing access to some great exercise - biking, running, walking, etc. We used it almost every day during our stay;
(3) the apartment was very clean & comfortable inside. The best part of it for us was the back deck, which faces west and looks out over a beautiful historic church. We spent many a night on that deck, watching the sunset and enjoying a glass of wine!
(4) check in & check out was very easy, with no hassles whatsoever. Ami keeps it very simple and communicates clearly on what to do when you arrive and depart;
(5) parking can sometimes be challenging in city environments, but we had no issues at all with finding street parking throughout our month-long stay;
(6) Ami is a WONDERFUL host! He communicated with us periodically throughout our stay, providing tips on things to see & do, and proactively checking in just to make sure we were comfortable. I only needed to reach out to him once or twice; when I did, his responses were very timely and helpful;
Overall, it was a great experience! We will definitely be returning to Wicker Park to visit family in the near future. When we do, hopefully we'll be able to stay there again.
