We really enjoyed our out-of-hotel experience on Steve’s lovely street in Lincoln Park. Summer was a perfect time to enjoy the expansive patio adorned with flowers and lights. I was comforted hearing the occasionally “signs of life” below from the loft, but I say this sincerely: in a hotel, you have no control over who is slamming doors and loudly talking around you (and when). What little companion sounds we heard were a reminder that we had a kind, gracious host with great tips and a smile nearby. The space is open and airy, yet cozy and homey. Fridge, coffeemaker, toaster, sink, microwave, and plates/glasses/cutlery all handy, clean, and ready to go. The place is a short walk from Fullerton station, though we didn’t wind up needing it, and so much delicious food in every direction. Steve’s map and verbal suggestions were a huge help and starting point. Highly recommend!
