It’s situated in a quiet neighborhood. Commuting to downtown Chicago was less than 15 minutes drive. Commuting by train would be easier than parking downtown and the stops are about a 15 minutes walk away. This was s great base for our family of 6! There was plenty of room which was a concern when I was looking for places to stay. We were able to have breakfast before heading out for the day, also great with kids in tow. The kitchen had everything we needed! Actually, the apartment had everything we needed. We would stay again! Charles and Tine were great hosts! They even gave us a welcome basket with snacks, which my kids loved!
