We LOVED this apartment for our visit to Chicago. The apartment is exactly as depicted in the listing & photos - very spacious, quiet and clean, in a beautiful, historic apartment building. The location was perfect for us... a short walk to the lake with incredible views, a lovely beach, and miles and miles of shoreline paths for walking/biking. Great shops & restaurants within easy walking distance. We loved "Open Produce" for fresh bread, fruit & veggies, and Snail Thai for the best chicken satay ever. To get into the city, there's a #6 bus across the street that takes you directly into the loop in about 20 minutes - couldn't have been easier. Highly recommend!!
