James was a great host. He was there when we arrived at the apartment to let us in and answer any questions we had. throughout our stay he was prompt answering my text messages. The neighborhood was great! All kinds of places to eat right around the corner from upscale restaurants to all kinds of etnic spots and fast food. red line metro is about a five to ten minute walk depending on your pace through a nice tree lined street with nice old houses. Less than a fifteen minute ride to the Loop. Area is very safe and near De Paul university. So lots of activities like clubs etc for the college crowd. The apartment itself is located on a quiet street. The apartment was clean. It is quite small. I think excellent for a couple. There are two stools and a small counter to eat from. Great space if you are going to grab a quick breakfast in the morning and run out the door to sight see. There is netflix so after a busy day touring the town you can return and kick back watching a movie. There are washers and dryers in basement coin operated. The building was quiet and hardly saw anyone there. An overall very pleasant experience!
