As someone who grew up in the Northside of Chicago with family in the suburbs, I really appreciated so much about this location. I loved being able to being able to walk down the street and see the lake (even in the middle of a blustery winter!). It super close to Lake Shore Drive which makes traveling downtown super easy and convenient. Even though I had to commute to the far northwest suburbs for the holidays, the drive and parking was a piece of cake. While the street is primarily permit parking with certain time restrictions Monday through Friday, there are no restrictions Saturday and Sunday (huge bonus!). The space is simple, clean, and has a good amount of historical character and architecture. Traveling in the midst of a pandemic can be unnerving, but from entering the lobby of the building and into the apartment itself, it all felt comfortable, safe, quiet, and clean. My favorite part about the apartment was the bathroom--classic tile, radiator, spacious, classic. I did not do any cooking this trip, but having a nice clean fridge to store all my provisions and foodstuffs from my trip was a nice bonus. Lastly, I appreciated having all premium channels on cable, because you know, HBO. If you are looking for simple, accessible, clean and a good a location on the Northside, stay here.
