My wife, 7 month old and I stayed at Todd's apartment for a month while on a business trip in Chicago. Not only was the flat much larger than I'd anticipated and the decor and cleanliness really helped make it a home away from home. Our kiddo was able to roam without getting into too much mischief. The kitchen is large and fully stocked with the necessary tools and equipment to cook regularly. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. Everybody in the building, Todd, Chris, Jeff and Jen are available should any questions or issues arise.
The Wilson red line stop is only a couple blocks away. It is a relatively short train ride from there to downtown Chicago. Uptown itself is an interesting neighborhood. Very close to The Green Mill, which I highly recommend if you love Jazz and prohibition history. Montrose Beach is about a 15 minute walk. There are also a few really nice coffee shops and eateries near by. Neither my wife or I drive because we live in London. Getting around by walking and public transit was not an issue.
In short, I highly recommend this flat.
