The location of this apartment is terrific: a very comfortable neighborhood with lots of decent little restaurants. (We enjoyed the Kurdish place --Gundis-- on North Clark St. very much.) The building itself is funky, mostly in a good way, and James has made the studio very appealing. People should be prepared for a 4th floor walk up and older kitchen and bathroom fixtures but it's perfectly clean and comfortable. The mattress is terrific, as advertised.
