We had a great stay at James' place in Lincoln Park. The apartment was cosy and had everything we needed. We were in town for Lollapalooza and were able to get to Grant Park in downtown Chicago within 30 minutes on the train or express bus. It's in a fantastic location, close to Lincoln Park which has a beautiful waterfront. The only thing I would suggest is adding a set of swimming towels to the apartment during the summer for those who want to visit the nearby beach - something I'd absolutely recommend. Also worth a visit: Crossroads Trading on North Clark street which is an absolutely fantastic thrift store with some quality items.
