Regrettably, my husband and I were only in town for one night... I wish we could have stayed longer and if so, we would definitely would have LOVED to continue our stay in Irv & Shelly's lovely garden apartment. It was just as described both by Irv & Shelly and also by all of the great reviews. The apartment was immaculate, cozy and just great. Plenty of space for four of us. The location was EXCELLENT. We traveled from O'Hare via the Blue Line and walked just a couple of blocks from the Racine station to the apartment. The neighborhood is wonderful, peaceful and quiet and just west of the Loop. We could not have asked for a better location. We traveled around Chicago every which way. We were able to take a 30-minute walk straight into the Loop area form the apartment, which was awesome. Uber and the Blue Line were always just moments away. All in all we will be coming back and when we do we will be staying at Irv & Shelley's. They were great hosts, and although we never had the opportunity to meet, they were always available and responsive! Yes, you should book this apartment. Trust me.
