Was a nice, convenient, and charming apartment in a relatively quiet neighborhood (especially considering the density of the number of people there)! We walked to the L, grocery store, Starbucks, and my 7 and 8 year old son and daughter and I even walked all the way home from a Cubs (day) game. We were able to make a couple of trips to the Montrose beach less than 10 minutes drive. We were a little nervous about the street parking that seemed to prohibit parking from 9-11 am without a resident window sticker, but we only moved our car 1 day out of 4 while there and didn't have any tickets or problems. Communication from our host, Regina, was incredibly quick and helpful.
