This was our first visit to Chicago so we weren't too sure about the various neighborhoods. This one is great! It's a lovely tree lined street with great old houses and apartments. The Red Line is a 10 minute walk away and the bus is right at the end of the street so mass transit was very convenient and easy to use. We loaded a 7 day pass on our phones ($20) and definitely got our money's worth. The apartment itself is a delight. Very bright and comfortable with lots of space. Nice soft towels too! The kitchen is very well stocked. I will note that it's three floors up which wasn't a problem for us but somehow I had missed that in the listing. A huge bonus is the bikes. The lakeside trail is only a short ride away and we had a great time on the bike path. Meagan also provided tennis racquets but unfortunately we ran out of time before we could use them. I highly recommend this apartment. You have easy access to downtown with mass transit but you're in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood.
