We had a car, and this place was perfect. Pretty neighborhood, no problem parking, easy to get everywhere. I don’t know how easy public transportation would be, but with a car, you’re close enough to everything. Apartment is spotless, spacious, and bright. Glad it was available for our trip—it made our stay hassle free and much more enjoyable. If you have a car, this is the best place to stay in Chicago. The bakery around the corner is awesome too!
