Nejla's space lived up to the description offered. I was looking for a change from my usual Loop/River North business stays, and this private room and private bath in Lincoln Park delivered what I was hoping for. I had the chance to walk around a beautiful quiet neighborhood, a short walk to the red or brown lines, and in some ways a chance to imagine what it might be like to live in Chicago rather than play the part of downtown businessperson.

The room was simple (bed, wi-fi, desk/table, books) but the bed was comfortable, the bathroom had all the needed comforts, and the books on the shelves were fun to sift through. Most River North haunts don't let you choose from multiple scholarly commentaries on Ulysses should you like to stay up all night reading instead of sleeping.
