Tom's apartment was generous and comfortable - the dining room and front room allowed four of us to gather for meals and conversations - perfect for visiting out of town guests . The weather didn't allow us to use it but the back porch looked lovely for good weather visits. The kitchen was well-stocked with amenities and plenty of room to cook and entertain. The apartment was quiet and warm even with the coldest weather Chicago had to throw at us . Location is super walkable - a well stocked grocery store is half a block away, the CTA station and a very reliable bus line is just over a block, and the apartment is very close to wide range of restaurants and Lincoln Square attractions. Street parking was always available when we needed it. Tom (and his lovely neighbor Beth) were very communicative and helpful before and during stay. Highly recommended - we'd love to rent again if possible!
