Great location and well-appointed apartment, especially the kitchen which has plenty of plates, pots, pans, and utensils. Use the Keurig if you enjoy coffee! The beds are comfortable with nice pillows and plenty of blankets are available. Bath linens were fluffy and absorbent. For lounging there is a TV in the living room and one in the main bedroom. Cable (AT&T) U-verse is available on both. Walking or very short driving distance to many restaurants, including our favorite Chicago pizza joint, Piece. Close to the Wicker Park and Humboldt Park neighborhoods, the Riviera Theater (concert venue), the Aragon Ballroom (concert venue), and the Garfield Conservatory (a must see!). Only a 30 minute drive to Chicago Botanic Garden (another must see!) and a 20 minute drive to downtown Chicago. Also within short driving distance are Kuma's Corner, a great heavy metal themed burger joint, and Bucket o' Blood, an eclectic local bookstore catering to fantasy, sci-fi, and horror fans. The apartment is located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Street parking is available but you need a permit sticker which Al and Mary provide. However, we did find that if you get back too late at night (midnight or after), finding a spot to park can be difficult. We accidentally parked in a handicapped spot one night and the next night we had to park around the corner on Kimball because all of the other residential parking nearby are different permit numbers. It wasn't a big deal - just be prepared. One last thing: Mary will answer any questions you may have immediately. That was MUCH appreciated.
