This place worked perfectly for us, as a family of 3 kids and a sitter plus parents. Our 4 y.o. twins could use the middle basement room beds and it was nice and dim in the mornings so they didn't leap out of bed at the crack of dawn. (Also the jacuzzi was a hit with them!) The basement was a bit chillier than the first floor but not a big deal. The parking spot was tight for our minivan but we luckily were not ticketed for the nose of the car sticking out a couple inches. And the upstairs bed was a bit softer than we prefer, but we managed fine. Overall, we felt very lucky to find Nicole's apartment for our Chicago vacation!
