Janet's place was just perfect for our 5 night stay, and it is exactly as pictured -- a lovely, large, newly appointed basement apartment, with all the amenities. The four of us (2 kids, 2 adults) were very comfortable, and Janet made us feel incredibly welcome -- she even filled the fridge with breakfast food and Intelligentsia coffee beans, and left beach towels for us. Janet is a kind woman with an encyclopedic knowledge of the city -- it felt like staying with family. The apartment is on a very nice quiet street of families, near both Lincoln Square and Andersonville, on the North Side. The parking space in the alley is a lifesaver, though a bit of a tight fit if you have a very large SUV or minivan. There are several doors to enter and exit, so keep track of which key goes with which door! The Damen Avenue stop on the Brown Line was a 15 minute walk (or a $5 Uber ride), and you can get pretty much everywhere in the city from there. Several beaches are just a short drive away, too. To sum up, the apartment is absolutely perfect for a family of 3 or 4, or 2 couples, and it can really serve as a home-away-from-home. We'll definitely be back!
