The apartment was lovely & bright (as pictured) and quiet, and both beds were very comfortable. (Also a good claw foot tub for relaxing after a long day sightseeing etc.) Mindy left us a list of good & fairly local eating spots etc. to which we would add the Dove in Wicker Park. The 24-hour taco place around the corner on Grand has great breakfasts. All I missed in the apt was a reading lamp, and when I emailed to inquire, Mindy brought one up to us within minutes. She is an enthusiastic ambassador for Chicago, which is truly a great city. The #66 bus along Chicago got us to "downtown" promptly and we used the Western Ave bus north to some events. (We used a Venta week pass: $28 for all the bus/L travel we did.) I would certainly stay there again. We had some trouble trying to figure out the non-cable part of the TV, but then neither of us watch TV. The PBS channel was enough for us.
