Nancy’s place is very homey and occupies the entire ground floor of a vintage house in a very safe and well located neighborhood. We liked that the Whole Food market was nearby. There are actually several cool local restaurants nearby, but you don’t see them right away. So don’t get discouraged and wander around to discover Roscoe Village and Lakeview. Best is to rent bikes from the Dizzy(?) system. The neighborhood is very green and welcoming for cyclists. It takes ca 15 min cycling to get to the lake and you can stop at Broadway for restaurants etc. warmly recommended!
