This is a spacious apartment on a quiet street within walking distance of the Hyde Park commercial district. For an idea, I walk at a brisk pace, and it took me about a half hour to reach the shore of Lake Michigan, more like 15/20 minutes to restaurants/shopping. All through a quiet and pleasant residential neighborhood. From the apartment there is a lovely view of the Chicago skyline! The building is charming and well-built -- didn't hear another person the entire four days. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is plenty of space and privacy to spread out after a busy day of sight-seeing, as well as a kitchen stocked for cooking if you'd rather stay in. Tenna is available if you need anything. We felt relaxed here and would stay again.
