Samantha & Jonathan's loft was exactly as pictured, and located in a convenient location. I loved the apartment - I would love to live here myself! The stairs to the loft was quite steep as others describe, and I left my suitcase downstairs and only went upstairs to sleep. The bed was very comfortable. My friend whom I stayed with wanted an easy access to the bathroom during night, so she decided to use the air mattress downstairs, which we found in the closet (we moved furnitures around to make space). The walk to the California CTA station was 15-20 min for me, but since it was quite a cold week, I often opted for Uber. As we had packed plans in downtown, we did not get to explore much of the neighborhood nor get to ask for neighborhood tips that Samantha was happy to share, but I'd love to come back to this loft and explore more!
