This was an amazing place. Location was fabulous. The Irving Park Road L stop was only about a five-minute walk. That gave us easy access to the city. We also enjoyed taking walks around the well-loved and cared for neighborhood. We learned that some of the houses were built around 1900, so seeing the architecture was fun. I would highly recommend a restaurant called Eris, that is a 5-minute walk right up the street. It is a brewery and cidery that offers good vegan food choices. As far as the house, I can confirm from a previous reviewer that the beautiful wooden floors are a bit squeaky. It didn't really bother us though because we live in our own house with squeaky floors. Plus the apartment is on the top floor so it's probably mostly a problem for the people below. Overall, Silvia's place a must-stay location.
