Location: on the residential, quiet side of Michigan Ave yet one minute walk from cafes, boutiques, and the Gold Coast. My daughter could easily walk to Oak Street beach, and we biked and ran along the lakefront path every day, which is a five minute walk to the other side of Lake Shore Drive. You cannot wish for a better urban vacation than Chicago in the summertime and if you want to see the sights, this location gives you proximity to everything plus a lake breeze. We felt comfortable on the streets at any hour.
Apartment: Immaculate! The apartment is minimally furnished but comfortable. We stayed for seven days, dining out but also getting groceries nearby. Kitchen was adequate and having a washer & dyer within the unit was handy.
Take your shoes off and tread lightly in this apartment but I can appreciate that Wendy and Matt are good neighbors as well as hosts.
Hosts: Wendy and Matt are quick to respond and tell you what you need to know, plus they share helpful local tips that make your visit more enjoyable. (With Covid, some of the hours and availability have changed)
Parking: We were in town for family reasons which required using a car. The dedicated parking spot was key. Who wants the stress of looking for a spot or dealing with a garage? The ease of self-parking in a small lot at the building makes this place exceptional.
