We had an amazing stay at John's place! I was in town for work and brought my two boys and my dad to supervise. The apartment - The space was perfect with two large bedrooms and a large pull out couch, and it was very clean. The bathroom had great water pressure in the shower. The space was perfect for our needs and had plenty of items that you might need, such as band-aids and extra toothbrushes. There was an entire book with directions to places to eat and do, as well as menus for local food options. It seems that John remembered everything! It was also very quiet even though the train is really close.
The neighborhood - We love this neighborhood in Chicago. It is clean and safe, there are plenty of food choices around. There are large sidewalks that are great for walking through the quite neighborhood streets. I was able to hop on the brown line for a 25 minute ride to downtown. My family went bowling a few times right down the street, to the beach, a Cub's game (around a mile down the road), and we took a lyft to Navy Pier ($20). You can't beat this location if you want to be centrally located with the space and amenities of a full size apartment!
Thanks for an amazing stay!
