We loved our stay at Brad & Sara’s place!
Big wins:
-the neighborhood is great. You’re about 30 minutes from the Loop from the time you walk out of the apartment to go to the “L”, and arrive downtown. You’re also 25 minutes walking from Wrigley. And Lakeview, the apartment’s neighborhood, is great itself. Lots of great food, Trader Joe’s, etc. If you’re up for the walk, both Lou Malnati’s and Giordanos are 18 minutes away walking (or faster if you run so your pizza is still hot when you get back, ha!)
- The apartment has a great design. Really nice kitchen (which we didn’t use because deep dish pizza, but it’s nice to look at)
- No cable, but Netflix was great.
- Overall clean apartment!
- Great communication from Brad & Sara with easy check in and out processes
- The neighbors we interacted with were really nice
Things to know:
- As other reviews have said, you hear every step the upstairs neighbors take. We stayed two nights, and both nights the neighbors were up past midnight. Walking nonstop. And you hear every step. We wouldn’t have minded much, but we were traveling with an infant who kept getting woken up by the steps. So if you’re a light sleeper, just be aware.
- Also, the apartment building itself is fairly dated. Brad & Sara’s individual unit is really updated, but the hallways, elevator, etc are dated. Neither of these things can be fixed by Brad or Sara, but things to know!
Overall, we’d gladly stay here again!
