This is a lovely garden (basement) apartment in the North Center area of Chicago which is a beautiful, safe, quiet neighborhood. It is about a 40 to 45 minute car or elevated train (El) ride into the city. If you elect to use Uber, it will cost you about $15 to get downtown ($7 or 8 if you do Uberpool).The home is about a 20 minute walk to the El. The apartment has nice finishes, including a nice deep tub. The bathroom connects to the bedroom which is very nice. The queen bed is quite comfortable and ensured a good night of sleep. There is a small kitchen but it does not include an oven so if you plan to do a lot of cooking, keep that in mind. The unit is in the basement so it stays nice and cool in the summer (it was a bit too cold for me but the hosts were very good about adjusting the temperature and closing the vents). There are is not a seperate climate control for the unit so keep that in mind and if you need the temperature adjusted be sure to ask the hosts. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and made me feel at home. The unit would be most comfortable for a couple or two friends who are ok with sleeping in the same bed. There is some overhead noise so bring some earplugs if you like to sleep late or are a light sleeper (I am a light sleeper and wake up late and slept very well with earplugs in). There is a wonderful rooftop deck where you can enjoy the beautiful chicago summers. It is really nice to have access to an outdoor space. The hosts were wonderful people and I enjoyed my stay
