Natalie and Pete's second floor apartment is very cute! They have a lot of really wonderful decorative touches, such as what appears to be original art. I loved that! The place is very clean. The pantry was stocked with pancake mix and hot cocoa, kurig pods, etc. Super nice of them!
The neighborhood appears to have families in it -- it is near a community school, it appears, and the very large Bridgeport Art Center / Event Center, which is where a wedding was that we were in Chicago for. It was literally around the block (a 7-minute walk, a 1-2 minute drive). It was super convenient.
We never had to pay for parking -- we always found street parking right in front of the house.
The stairs are exterior stairs (I wasn't sure when I read the listing myself), and they are quite steep. The landing into the front door is very small, so you can really only fit one person. Just a note of caution to those who are movement-impaired or have a child to deal with. We had a baby and a toddler with us, and it was no big deal, but something to be aware of.
