My friend and I enjoyed our stay in Mark's garden unit in Roscoe Village this past weekend. It was exceptionally clean and the bed/pillows were very comfortable. The pantry was partially stocked and we opened the refrigerator to a few cans of beer and plenty of bottled water. We cooked one of the nights we were there, and all of the cookware was available to us. It was a quick Uber ride from Boystown, the Lake and Whole Foods. Trader Joe's is within reasonable walking distance. Roscoe Village itself has some cute eateries.
The one thing that I did not realize is that, in Chicago, a "garden apartment" often refers to an apartment that is partially in the basement, as was the case with this unit. I guess I was expecting at least a ground-level space for the entire level. So, there was only natural light in the living room from the ground-level windows. The remainder of the house received little natural light.
The people living upstairs were a little noisy in the morning (around 7:30 AM) getting ready, nothing obnoxious. I was able to roll over and fall back asleep.
