Wade's apartment was exactly what we needed during our stay to Chicago. We were traveling with 3 small kids, so the accommodations suited us well. The games and trunk of costumes entertained my kids when we were at home. Being a former Chicago resident, this apt had the charm of my first city apartment - older building, 25' wide, great wood floors, older details. There is one apt above you (where Wade's family lives) and one below. Parking was easy and there is a great grocery (Tony's Market) just a 5 minute walk from the building. There was not a dishwasher - but we only ate breakfasts at home so that wasn't a problem for us. This really was a great deal for the dollar.
