Location, location, location! We had so much fun at Heather's place exploring the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. There is so much going on in this neighborhood. Right outside your door are great dining spots, clubs, coffee shops and abundant nature. You might panic at all the choices, but Heather has provided an excellent resource booklet and is always available to answer questions. (Even when her guest accidentally asks the same thing several times!) The apartment is clean and charming. The building is as old as the neighborhood itself and one feels transported back in time to old Chicago with narrow cobblestone streets and beautiful old buildings. The zoo is super close as is a nature sanctuary and a beautiful meditative shrine just across the street. We walked everywhere and always felt safe. Turn the corner out of the apartment and you're hit with the sights and sounds of a vibrant city, but once inside, it's quiet and peaceful. Heather makes good use of the space in the apartment and our family of four felt very comfortable here. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes and baking supplies. The two strategically placed window air conditioning units kept the place cool. We will be back for sure!
