Beth's place was the perfect antidote to a hot Chicago day--a cool, comfortable, private oasis on a lovely, quiet, tree-lined street. During several 90 degree days, the apartment was always cool. You never feel that you are in a basement because of all the windows and light, and there is no "basement smell." The apartment was clean and well-stocked with everything you need for a light breakfast. Two blocks away is an Aldi for light snacks and meals. Within a 15 minute walk are several good to very good restaurants and pubs. We definitely will stay here again when visiting Chicago. A wonderful Air BnB experience!
