Sara’s little apartment was perfect for my 3 days stay. She and her husband were very responsive before and during my stay, they a list of tips to enjoy the neighborhood and Chicago main touristic attractions and also answered all my questions regarding further information.
The little kitchenette makes it possible to reheat or cook basic things, kettle , coffee maker, toaster allows you not to go out if you want to enjoy starting smoothly the day.
Outside options are also available, there’s a grocery store round the corner, and I highly recommend coffee at the Vietnamese Nhu Lanh Bakery and/or cakes biscuits at Hella Greek pastry bakery. Local places with no specific fancy decoration but family owned and traditional.
Note that the apartment is in an old building ; therefore you will hear neighbors coming in and out from the corridor, steps from neighbor above, water running in pipes. You may want to pack earplugs.
Lincoln Square is a nice area, 10min walk from the apartment, where you’ll find all kind of stores and restaurants.
Rockwell station is 7 min walk, and then you’re downtown in 50 min with the Brown Line.
I really had a great stay!
