This neighborhood is a hidden gem in Chicago and a great place to stay for people who want to be well out of tourist traps and experience one of the city's many leafy, peaceful areas on the north side. The apartment is exactly as pictured, very large, homey and quiet. We appreciated the many extras the hosts left - a generously stocked fridge and snacks. The bed was extremely comfortable and towels super soft. We also enjoyed the back porch and some fantastic sunsets. This is a true Chicago experience! The downsides should be noted for future travelers - as this is a pet friendly space, there was a noticeable, unpleasant pet smell and pet hair in places which may affect people with allergies or people who are sensitive to smell. The wifi when we stayed was not reliable, and until this is fixed permanently, I wouldn't say it's a laptop-friendly space for those of you working remotely (like us). Otherwise, we still enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment and neighborhood and I'm sure these drawbacks can be addressed!
