We were extremely pleased with this location and it’s proximity to downtown Chicago. We visit Chicago often (we always drive there) to visit our son and Bob’s home was close to both his house and downtown. We normally use public transit to get around, but having a baby with us this trip necessitated using the car, so we can’t say what the walk to buses or the train are like. We did walk the 606 (just a block south of the apartment) on a sunny Chicago afternoon. The park at the east end of the 606 was great fun for kids both young and old.
We were there the week of Thanksgiving and had to do some cooking for a get-together. We found the kitchen well -appointed, with everything we needed in the way of pots, pans and bakeware.
As far as the space goes, it was clean and well-kept. The master bedroom was great (loved the shower). The middle bedroom was small (can only exit the bed from one side), but the bed was comfy and firm. The 3rd bedroom has 2 twin beds and is great for kids. The living/dining/kitchen area is nice and open with seating at the table for six. There were also books, games and puzzles for entertainment.
If going to Chicago with family members, we would absolutely stay here again.
Note: we also had problems with the key at the front entrance, like several others have said, but we quickly learned how to get in the back door and we used that way in and out for the entire trip - it was a little farther back from the street, but way less steps!
