My wife and I stayed 4 nights, she ran in a half marathon on day 2. We found the apartment very peaceful, quiet and restful, not something we expected to find in a large city. We initially chose based on proximity to the race start/finish, a 20 minute walk away. We would return if we came to chicago again because of the quiet surroundings and outstanding comforts and amenities of this apartment. We also really enjoyed being able to rent a bike on lakeshore drive and bike safely on the bike path to Navy pier and downtown. Highly Recommended.
