We had a truly wonderful stay here! The apartment is beautifully decorated and seemed larger to me than it appears in the photos. The bathroom was very spacious and had loads of extra supplies in case we needed anything. The bed was comfortable (loved the Sferra sheets~ I am now tempted to buy a set for my own home!). Little touches were lovely surprises and definitely elevated our stay. For example, I was going to make coffee my first morning there and realized I had forgotten to pick up sweetener and cream the day before. No sooner did I have that feeling of, “bummer, I won’t have these things that I like in my coffee,” when I realized everything I needed was already there! I found lots of little creamers and a box of Splenda~ it was perfect!!
The location is great if you are interested in more of a quiet neighborhood feel. You don’t have to go far to reach the typical Chicago tourism hotspots while you have the benefit of being able to come back “home” and relax in a less busy area of town. That being said, there are plenty of great restaurants and shops in the immediate area so you could just hang out in Lincoln Park and the surrounding neighborhoods and be totally content!
One thing I didn’t see in the initial advertisement is that you’ll have to climb a somewhat steep flight of stairs (no elevator that I know of) to access the apartment. This was not a problem at all for my husband and I but I thought it could be pointed out in case someone who is thinking about booking the space has any concerns about taking stairs. Perhaps I missed this in the description.
Otherwise, everything was exactly as described and the apartment exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend it!!
