This was a great place for us to stay with our dogs for a holiday weekend away from home. It is in a nice neighborhood that felt safe anytime of day. The apartment is very nice, open, and bright. The kitchen worked well for us to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner. The dining room was a nice touch for us to enjoy our holiday meal. We live in a more rural area, so the city noises took a bit of getting accustom to. It appears that we were in one of the flight paths for O’Hare. Apartment living is much different from living in a single family home in the country. It was a fun adventure. Parking was never an issue on our block. I highly recommend this apartment for a family as it is quite spacious and safe.
