We had a very nice stay in the apartment. The communication with JB was excellent. The neighborhood is quiet, and the neighbors were quick with a friendly wave. The apartment itself was clean and eclectic with lots of character. JB had snacks, fruit, cereal and beverages there so we didn't need to run out right away and get food. The kitchen had all the tools you would need for cooking a meal. The dining/living room made for an excellent temporary office. The WiFi was speedy and reliable. We found the Metra commuter train to be fast and reliable and a convenient walk from the apartment. I used the "Metra onTime" app on my phone to easily get the train schedule to downtown. There was plenty of free street parking. This was definitely a good deal.
