If you want to feel like a local in a safe and relatively quiet neighborhood that's close to everything a tourist could want, this is the place to stay!
APARTMENT
Basement apartment that's somewhat quiet on a busy street. We live in the country and we slept fine and noise was never a problem except Saturday night was little busier/louder than usual. Only has door by the alley, gate and walkway from front of the building.(recommend checking out google maps street view before driving here). Keyless entry was simple and easy to use. The apartment was sparkling clean! The kitchen is well stocked. The bathroom is at the end of the apartment with one room as a half bath and the other only a shower. The bedroom closest to the door has an accordion style door, has a gap above and below door. 2nd bedroom with a twin bed is closest to the bathrooms and tv room. Beds were both very comfortable. Has fast, reliable comcast 100mbps down/6mbps up internet connection.
LOCATION
8min walk to Orange Line(Midway/Loop) and bus stop right beside apartment for bus route 52 Archer Ave towards chinatown or ashland. 20min Orange Line train to downtown. Felt very safe, comfortable walking at night, and neighborhood behind apartment had "small town" feel. The apartment is in the Bridgeport neighborhood. Only 10min drive to Chinatown, Pilson, and Little Village.
HOST
Very responsive and helpful before and during our stay.
