We loved staying at John's apartment. It was an older house, but was well maintained. It was our home away from home for two nights (wish it were longer). The inside was as described. It was immaculate and tastefully decorated. Everything that we could ever need was provided for - clean towels, shampoo, soap, hair dryer, etc (even a disposable shaver!). The kitchen is well-equipped. We didn't get to cook, but everything needed to prepare a meal is there. We walked everywhere. Restaurants are a few short blocks away (Halsted St). A Catholic Church is just a block away. We drove to a supermarket somewhere in the city on the way home from visiting attractions, so I really couldn't tell how close the neighborhood supermarket was from the apartment. Street parking is a convenient perk. The neighborhood is quaint and pretty (especially because we went in the fall). We felt safe walking around at night. I highly recommend John's place and would book it again next time.
