Comfortable, well-appointed one-bedroom apartment in fantastic location. It's in a classic Chicago brownstone building with a lush center courtyard. This unit is all the way toward the back, so it's away from the street, and it's a third-floor walk-up, so if you're not keen on stairs, it's probably best to look elsewhere. Walk out the front door and in 3 minutes you can board the Brown Line elevated train to go downtown. I drove to Chicago and had no problem finding close street parking during my weekend; the parking situation might be different during the week.
The location is about one mile due west of Boys Town, so it's close enough to be within striking distance of all the East Lakeview action without being in the thick of it. The street itself is quiet and very pleasant. I ran a mile and a half to the lakefront. Starbucks, Target, and several good restaurants are all less than a 5-minute walk, and there's a Whole Foods nearby as well. Absolutely superb location.
Very comfortable bed. Kitchen has a full-size range, fridge, dishwasher, and microwave and has some basic dishes, knives, and utensils, but if you're planning to cook at all and are arriving by car, I'd bring some of your favorite kitchen equipment. There are two huge closets, so there's plenty of room to stash your luggage.
Kitchen, dining room, and bedroom all have east windows, so the morning light is glorious.
