This is one of those places where the pictures just don't accurately capture the charm and care of the owner. I already wanted to stay based on the reviews and pictures, but walking in the door our jaws literally dropped. There are so many cute details that are easy to miss and truly make it feel as though you are staying at a home away from home.
There are lots of things within walking distance of this cute little Andersonville apartment. We easily grocery shopped, ate out, and walked to the metro (all within 15 min). Getting to places like the Shedd Aquarium and Millenium Park took longer bc we relied on public transit for our visit, but they're only 45 min away, which goes by faster than you think.
Despite a May visit, the weather was true to Chicago-an form (windy af and rainy and cold). Lida left an umbrella on the back porch for us and let us know we could use it as needed! I messaged her often asking questions and she never was bothered and always responded promptly. The beds were cozy with lots of blankets and pillows; the couches were the same. The one thing we noticed was that it gets *hot* on the 1st floor when the heat is on. Lida was quick to let me know that if we were uncomfortable, we could open windows or even turn on the AC since the heat was regulated by a single thermostat on the 2nd floor.
I really can't sing the praises of this spot enough. Truly a home away from home.
