I highly recommend staying here. It is all that we were hoping for and more. Eric and Beth are gracious hosts and we felt welcome and taken care of during the whole experience. We appreciated the welcome basket of snacks and all the details to welcome us for a care free stay. The apartment is well appointed with all you need to live like a local. The location is great and we enjoyed walks (only 2 blocks away) to the Lincoln Park - Diversey Marina (there's a putting green and small grill restaurant serving cold drinks, beer, food with outdoor seating) to watch the geese play in the water, boats and walk to the lake front, and markets, restaurants and shops close by (visited the frozen yogurt place more than once!). The neighborhood is great for easy access to most anything. My family and I would definitely stay there again.
