The apartment was great. We loved the kids toys also. The dark room was so helpful and the location was quite and still a good distance to shops. It was clean also for us. I just want to mention that there is no stove so if you plan on doing some big cooking then it might not be for you. There is a microwave and restaurants a block away in Rockwell so we were not planning on cooking. We loved it though and would come back next time if we stayed in Lincoln Square. Nate was also very responsive and provided a bed for our toddler. So helpful :).
