We really enjoyed our stay in Peg's basement apartment. It was everything we expected from the previous reviews, and actually we wish we could live there. The neighborhood was really nice - quiet and lots of trees and nearby playgrounds, but really easy to get to and from downtown Chicago. The small kitchen was really well stocked with supplies so we could focus on relaxing. Peg also provided lots of tips about the neighborhood (restaurants, grocery stores, local beach and playgrounds, etc). The apartment itself was clean and colorful. We couldn't ask for anything more.
