Great apartment, less than a block from the Lake! Meagan's place is perfect for families, business travelers, and long-term stays. We enjoyed running and walking by the Lake every morning, and access to the Lakefront trail couldn't be easier. In the apartment, the wifi was FAST and reliable, enough to support two simultaneous high bandwidth Zoom meetings plus other devices without even a hint of trouble. There is plenty of space for a small family or a couple, a full dining room area, and a well-stocked kitchen suitable for preparing meals. The building is an older, charming, and quiet 3 story walk-up in a residential neighborhood. If you are looking for a place that feels like a home away from home, this may the spot for you.
We absolutely loved the location and found it perfect for our needs. There are two grocery stores nearby: a Whole Foods just over a half mile to the south (an easy walk), and a Jewel-Osco 3/4 of a mile to the North. Public transportation is readily accessible. At the end of street, catch the 146 at the end of the street to get downtown quickly. The 36 (Broadway) stop is a block and a half away. The 151 (Union Station) bus, 80 (Irving Park), and 9 are also close by. The red line (Sheridan stop) is less than half a mile away too. You can get *anywhere* you need to go. If you do have a car and are planning a longer stay, the American Islamic Center at the end of the street rents spots by the month. Alternatively, Spot Hero has options within a half mile. We had a car, but relied heavily on public transport for daily needs.
As for the host, we can't say enough good things about Meagan! She is a consummate professional, quick with communications and attentive.
