This apartment is a basement unit in a larger house. There is a separate entrance and the house and neighborhood were relatively quiet. It was close to alot of sites and the oak park downtown was picturesque. The unit itself was clean and had plenty of space for my family of 6. The only adjustment if I had to say one was the one bathroom sharing with all those kids! But for our stay it was not that big of a deal. Lois was a great host and gave us our space but also made time to meet us and explain things to us. I highly recommend!
