We had such a lovely stay and Samuel gave us all the tips on getting around. His apartment was awesome...I could have just unpacked and lived there forever (right up my decorating style)!
And my boyfriend just loved the diversity of the neighborhood...got an awesome dinner at the Mexican restaurant just across the street on Lawrence (awesome hospitality).
The L was close by and even for us novices was easy to navigate to downtown. The only thing that was a little tough was parking (Samuel was kind enough to give us his spot...and since we didnt want to navigate back into the tight parking spot it gave us "downstaters" our first go using Uber - which was a breeze to use and very affordable) and that probably had more to due with me being a poor parker than anything else...lol
I would definitely love to stay again next time we get up that way!!
