My family really enjoyed our stay here! the apartment was located in a nice neighborhood, the was in walking distance of good restaurants, a cute little neighborhood brewery and grocery stores. We primarily stayed in the Chicagoland area , so driving to our destinations only took about 20 minutes or so. I think getting to downtown would have taken 45 minutes or more, so be mindful of that. Street parking was somewhat challenging, but we were always able to find a spot either on the same street or just a block over.
