I loved staying here! Jb met me and gave me some great tips about events in the area and Hyde Park, and was totally available if I needed anything during my stay. The apartment is as pictured but bigger, and is a great place to get creative, workshop, or just gather your thoughts. In that vein – there is no TV/sofa etc, but the bed is a squashy, bouncy joy (those requiring a firm mattress may disagree). The rooms are filled with interesting bits and pieces, and some fab furniture. There’s plenty of hot water and decent shower pressure. The area is leafy, lovely, and quiet, and I highly recommend using the map and info provided to walk around. The diner nearby provides tasty American food and friendly, efficient service. For anyone concerned about the distance from the city – there’s a great Metra service which is quick (25 minutes at most), with clean, air conditioned, double decker trains which I actually looked forward to boarding! Hyde Park is nearby and also worth a visit. Recommended!
