My family and I stayed at Lizzie's place for three days and had a wonderful time there. Lizzie's apartment is ideal for group travel. It's homy, clean and spacious. You will find everything you need there. The laundry room and kitchen make things a lot more convenient.
The neighborhood is quiet and close to downtown (15 min drive). The taxi driver advised us not to walk outside at night, but that's probably applicable to everywhere else in Chicago. The wifi is a bit slow and at times unstable, so if you want to trade stocks or download movies, you might want to bring your own wifi card.
Overall, it is a great place and we would certainly recommend it to anyone!
