Jamie's apartment is in a sweet area in Portage Park. If you have a dog with you, there is a dog park in a short walking distance; and Portage Park (part of Chicago Park District) is a great one, overall. The apartment has all of the essentials in the kitchen, bathroom. Plenty of extra towels. As it is the top floor of a house, expect some noise. The area is mostly pretty quiet if you're looking to be away from the city noise. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch and using the backyard with my 5-year old lab. Jamie thought of little details, which was appreciated: including a towel and some poop bags near the front door (both were needed). It is up a flight of stairs to access the apartment; info for those with a mobility challenge there. Recommended if you're coming to Chicago.
