Intimate but very clean and comfortable apartment. There are two separate bedrooms as well as a sofa-bed... so lots of space and privacy. Pete offers earplugs... which I recommend you use, especially in the back bedroom.... but it’s just the rhythmic sounds of the elevated trains, -not sirens or street noise or other sporadic noise.
You’ll enter a ground floor atrium, but the apartment is on second story- so no worries about intruders in the night! Parking is easy and free, and if using public transit, the train stop is about a block away.
Awesome, ethnic neighborhood. We never once felt unsafe. Moms were walking with strollers, people were jogging, elderly were walking with their dogs.... it felt very welcoming.
The location was perfect. We were just blocks away from some upscale entertainment venues, surrounded by neighborhood shops and bodegas, and only 15 min from Solider Field, the Field Museum, the Aquarium, the lake shore park, Hyde Park, and the University of Chicago.
I’d definitely stay there again.
Pete is a very welcoming host.
