We stayed at Nala & Owen’s place from Thursday through Monday morning. It was very easy to park in the garage and was nice to have a designated parking space as they are hard to find in Chicago. The courtyard between the garage and building was so cute and inviting and very secured. We were initially worried about taking our luggage up a couple flights of stairs but it ended up being ok. We felt very safe and secure as you have to go through multiple locked doors to get into your actual room. The room felt just like a hotel room and was very clean and comfortable. We used the shared kitchen space for a dinner and had a nice conversation with another couple who was staying there. I am generally not one to chat with people I don’t know but it actually didn’t bother me with sharing the space. You have all you need to cook a meal and everything was clean and in good repair.
One major thing that should be mentioned is the event space downstairs. On Friday and Saturday night it was extremely loud. Friday night was a teenage party and it sounded like an ax murderer was on the hunt downstairs. lol! It did not bother us at all tho as we had read the reviews and knew it could be loud. It started quieting down around 11:30. Again, none of this bothered us as we knew what we were in for ahead of time. However; if we hadn’t known about this we probably would have been annoyed so we appreciated the heads up by the owners.
The apartment was just a 5 minute drive to Wicker Park and there is a great cafe on the corner called Calida. Definitely go in there for a coffee and pastry!
All in all we had a great time and will definitely be back. Thank you so much for our little get away.
