We loved it. My husband, daughter, and I were visiting my sister for the week. It was the perfect location because we were close to the lakefront, Lincoln Square/shopping, and to the train station. The house was quiet, which is great for putting our toddler to bed. The cottage has everything we needed for cooking, plus more with the hot tub, grill, and patio area. Also, Mike was always quick to answer any questions we had.
