My husband and I lived in Chicago for over 45 years before moving away two years ago to another state so we are very familiar with the city and the area where this apartment is located. It is a quiet and safe neighborhood with public transportation within a few blocks. The Blue line train goes to O’Hare airport, downtown Chicago and other trendy neighborhoods like Logan Square, Wicker Park, West Town, etc. There is a cool, small bar a block away called Rex Tavern where we hung out for a few drinks. Having a parking spot was crucial as the area is permit parking for residents.
The apartment is a studio with a full-size bed and a leather futon. The bed is too small and not very comfortable. The apartment is a perfect size for a couple. A decent size kitchen with a stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. The appliances are not modern but functional. The one drawback of its location is that it’s on the first floor next to the exit door of the building so those entering and exiting can be loud.
The hosts make checking in and out very easy and convenient and they are quick to respond to questions and needs. We are happy we found this place which was close to where we use to live and close to family and friends. We recommend this place for those that want the quiet of a Chicago neighborhood but the accessibility to public transportation.
