This is a really sweet find....my partner & I have stayed here before a few years ago, enjoyed it then and once again, everything was great. It is a small, private apartment on the 2nd floor of the hosts home, with all the essentials, plus thoughtful extras like snacks, toiletries, umbrellas, iron/board, etc (and i've stayed at places that won't even provide coffee). Lovely decorative touches too! Everything was clean and neat...lovely bathroom with a window to the back garden and nice shower. Its close to major thoroughfares like Armitage & Western but the apartment is in a quiet neighborhood spot where you wouldn't necessarily know you're that close to Chicago traffic! The only reason you shouldn't stay here is if the location is not quite what you need or stairs are prohibitive for you... otherwise, its a gem!
