This is a comfortable, cozy, and convenient place to stay!
The hosts are friendly and incredibly thoughtful. They provided coffee and hot tea, along with some sodas and snacks. They even provided a little jug of half n half!
The place was impeccably clean, and the entire apartment is nicely decorated. It’s well-stocked with towels, TP, etc. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The kitchen has plenty of pots and pans and tools, so you can cook if you’d like to. The living room and eating space are very comfortable. We were visiting family and it was a good place to hang out and visit.
Free parking for one car is included, which is a huge benefit for Chicago. The spot is right behind the building. The back yard looks very nice, but we didn’t get to use it, since we were there while it was snowing. There’s a washer and dryer right outside the unit.
Access to transit is very convenient. The Diversy L station is just a few blocks away (where you can catch the brown and purple lines). The Belmont L station (red line) is also within easy walking distance.
If you’d like to walk to Lake Michigan, it’s only about a mile away, and there are walkways to take you under Lake Shore Drive. The neighborhood is pedestrian friendly and very safe. There are tons of coffee shops, restaurants, convenience stores, and groceries nearby. The Southport shopping area is also nearby.
There are some steps up into the house and down into the apartment, as an fyi for anyone with mobility issues. It’s a good size for a small family or two couples who don’t mind sharing a bathroom.
We loved staying here, and hope to be able to do so again soon!
