The apartment is truly a nice place. The location is PERFECT...almost everything cool is within walking distance. I had my car with me and parking in the area requires a permit, but Wes told me about spothero.com and I was able to reserve a spot in a lot that is ACROSS THE STREET for cheap....was so definitely pleased by that. Also, the living room and bedroom of the apartment extend out beyond the apartments above, so at night you can have normal conversation and you don't have to worry about keeping anybody up. The bed is comfortable and so is the couch...ironically we forgot it was a pullout couch, but my friend was perfectly comfortable on it anyway. Just a block down Southport is the Music Box Theater, two blocks down is a huge Jewel/Osco if you want to get groceries, another block from there is Schubas Tavern (great music and food), and it's three blocks to Clark Street where you'll find Smart Bar (dancing), G Man (formerly The Gingerman) and of course Wrigley Field. It's also really close to the train if you want to head uptown or downtown. All in all this is an amazing place in a great location. I'm hoping to use it again!!
