Family from Hawaii visiting the mid west meeting up with friends from Germany. We needed a spacious, well situated location that would accommodate our families that included teens of both genders. The apartment did not disappoint us. Since this was our first trip to Chicago we were at first taken back by the mix of urban conditions mixed with high end yuppie neighborhoods. It was soon apparent that any concerns about safety in an urban environment were put to rest. We were conveniently close to grocery stores, parks, restaurants and downtown Chicago. The apartment has a charm that represents a past era and was exceptionally clean. Owner Lou was very easy to work with as was Pauli, the maintenance man, who had great recommendations for eateries. We feel that this apartment will check all the boxes for a great trip to Chicago.
