this was a perfect location for marathon weekend--close to the packet pickup area, right on the route, and close enough to either the L or walking for runners/spectators to have their pick of routes. the apartment was the right size for 5 of us, and the hosts were very attentive to our needs, checking in at least daily to see if we needed anything.
we would have loved a larger sofa in the living area for more comfortable hanging out. the price would likely feel like a better value on a different weekend than marathon weekend.
