We enjoyed staying in this apartment vs. our usual Chicago hotel. So fun to feel like we lived in the neighborhood. Apartment was attractive and functional inside and out and street parking was convenient (we had a rental car). This apartment had everything we needed plus a TON of extras like lovely décor, eclectic glassware, Chicago books, tour ideas on a bulletin board, a gorgeous garden to enjoy the sunshine, and be still my heart: cream for our morning coffee! I can't imagine going back to a regular old hotel room after staying here. :-)
