Amazing location, wonderful hosts. If you are wanting to stay near the lake and magnificent mile in a safe, quiet neighborhood, then this place is for you. It is a shared space but it worked well for us because we were gone most of the day and night; it was a good home base. The hosts were so nice and made us feel at home. The cost was significantly less than the hotels surrounding it and was located by great restaurants, Divvy stations and a 7 minute walk from the Red Line.
