We booked this unit just to spend a weekend in the city - and this was great for that - very walkable neighborhoods, with bars, restaurants and interesting shops (located near Lincoln-Ashland-Belmont intersection, and we spent a lot of time on Roscoe as well). The apartment is in a nice courtyard building with lots of character. It had a locked gate and a locked building, so very safe. It was also very quiet. Even thought it's in the heart of the city, we never heard a single noise from outside. We also never saw another human being in the development the whole weekend. The living room and bedroom have wooden floors with old charm. The kitchen and bath look to be brand new and nicely done. The apartment had lots of natural light. One hint: if you need reading glasses, make sure you have them handy for reading directions on how to get in the gate, building and unit, as well as to actually read and manipulate the combination locks. The hosts were great, very responsive
Highly recommend!
