If you are into a vintage, faded glory from days gone by vibe, this is the place for you! The apartment is lovely and the view of downtown Chicago and the lake is absolutely stunning! Downtown and major sites are easily accessible via the bus stop that is literally right across the street from the apartment building. Be aware back and forth trips to the apartment during a busy day of touring isn't really feasible if you are using public transportation to get around. Also, we were not able to locate amenities such as a grocery store or restaurant within reasonable walking distance of the apartment.
Karen is a wonderful host and answered all of our questions both when we were planning our trip and during our stay. She really went above and beyond to ease some arrival glitches we experienced on a cold, blustery evening. Breakfast items, including handpicked blueberries, were a very nice and welcomed touch.
