Mia's place is located in an up-and-coming neighborhood north of downtown Chicago, right next to Loyola University. Little cafes, restaurants and brunch places dot the streets and the Red Line "el" is right next door, making this a super convenient place for folks without a vehicle. For those who are driving, there is parking in the back; there is a space for every resident of the Flats (a rare commodity in Chicago). I would recommend that you bring/lease a small car because the spaces are narrow. Our two-bedroom apartment was very nice. Two "master suites" with separate bathrooms were perfect for our extended family. The living area is very comfortable and the open kitchen is spacious and easy to navigate. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived. Mia and her assistants were very conscientious and accommodating.
