We really enjoyed our stay here! I love Lakeview, it's centrally located, and there is a ton of great stuff within walking distance. If you are comfortable in an urban setting, you'll know this is a great place to stay. If you're not, it may not be for you. You have to understand that parking is difficult, and things will not be perfectly quiet. You're in the city! The room was perfect for my two children and me during our trip to Chicago. The bed was comfortable, and my 12-year-old said the fold-out, which was an inflatable mattress, was comfortable as well. I actually did think it was pretty quiet considering where we were. I heard very little night noise. Everything was clean, and there was even coffee and a maker provided. I didn't use them because there were plenty of places to get coffee nearby, but I thought it was a really nice touch. I didn't meet Gary in person because he was out when we arrived, and then we were constantly on the go, but his communication through AirBnB was quick and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
