If you want to experience ALL that Chicago has to offer, this is the spot. On quiet days you can walk to the Lincoln Park free zoo, the beach, enjoy the Saturday Farmers Market. On days you want a little downtown action just hop on the bus a block away and you’ll be in downtown in 10-15 mins. With a 3 day CTA card only $15 for unlimited rides on the buses and trains.
The apartment is very cozy and perfectly appointed. The little kitchenette allows you to cook a nice breakfast or a simple dinner if you want a night in or prefer to cut down on eating out. However there are a variety of restaurants close by to choose from and most are reasonably priced.
We had a real great mother/daughter weekend here and I would definitely return.
