My family and friends, total of five people, stayed at Cathy's apartment in the middle of August 2018.
The first thing we liked about the place was the free parking space which is hard to come by in the city of Chicago.
The place had all the amenities necessary for your stay. It had two bedrooms, one private and the other semi-private. The apartment is cozy as described; but, still had plenty of room for us to move around.
Though we had a car we did not use it once since the train, that can take you anywhere in Chicago, is only a block away and very dependable. One thing to note is that due to its proximity to the train, you will hear it at night.. This was not a problem for us; but, a light sleeper may not like that. To us it was the sound of the city. The air conditioning worked great even though it was hot outside.
We enjoyed the Oberweis Ice Cream shop at the corner of Barry and Sheffield each evening on our way back to the apartment from our day of sightseeing. We also enjoyed breakfast at the New Modern Grill at the corner of Halstead and Belmont. This place is run by a local Chicago family who were very fun to talk with.
The neighborhood felt safe and for the price and location this apartment was a winner for us.
