Overall, we would come back to Ethan's place the next time we are in Chicago. This place is ideal for smaller groups that are minimalistic travelers that are using the apartment as a homebase to explore the greater Chicago area via car. We basically left the apartment early every morning and came back late every evening to sleep. While you could relax and cook in this apartment since it has a full kitchen with a large gas range, we did not. For dog owners, there is a community park about 15 minutes walk to the west that we utilized daily.
