This one bedroom, one bathroom garden apartment is much more modern and charming than the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised. It is situated on a quiet neighborhood that is still populated enough to make coming home at any hour feel safe. It is right around the corner from a Subway, 7-11, and several local taco shops, and pizzerias.
The apartment is clean and furnished nicely. The bed and futon were both comfortable. Groups of more than three adults may find that it’s a bit small for anything more than a night or two. We arrived very early and were allowed to check in early, which was gracious and kind. Our host weren’t underfoot, or noisy. I rarely even heard the sound of steps above our head.
Be aware that if you intend to cook you will need to purchase everything other than pots, pans, and simple seasonings. Unlike other AirBnBs I’ve stayed in there wasn’t cold water in the fridge, or a simple pantry. That’s not a criticism but just be aware, that beyond dishes and a single tray of ice, you will need to purchases food stuffs.
The neighborhood around this location is full of nice restaurants, and close to Wrigley Field. While Wrigleyville, Target, and other attractions are in walking distance it’s a 15-20 min+ walks and on a hot day or if you have small children or people in your group with limited mobility you will want to use the bus/trains, or take inexpensive Uber’s.
Great location, stellar host!
