This apartment was convenient and worked out well for our week in Chicago. The immediate proximity to the Belmont stop; multiple grocery stores; and neighborhood restaurants, bars, and coffee shops was well worth the rate. Though spartan, the space was private and clean, and we really appreciated having laundry and a full kitchen at our disposal. The train literally does stop right outside the windows! Like other guests, we didn’t find it a problem, though it does mean you can’t really open the shades! Enjoyed our stay!
