Wade's flat is in a roughly 100-year old building with a rather open floor plan. One powerful window AC unit in the dining room cooled off the entire apt, including both bedrooms. He's got everything you'd need in the kitchen. In addition, there is a Berkey water filter, a French press, & an extra large electric skillet, all of which he doesn't mention in his listing. The whole place is spacious with lots of seating for lounging around in the LR. The neighborhood is super quiet.
A 2-block walk lands you on Lincoln Ave. In front of you is Tony's Market, which is a very well-appointed grocery store. Turn right, walk another 8-10 minutes and you're in Lincoln Square. Turn left on Lincoln, walk 2 blocks & you'll find Café Utjeha that nobody seems to mention, which is too bad because it's an excellent little place. Owned by folks from the small country of Montengro, this space looks dive-y outside, but is clean and stylish and cool inside. The daughter makes an amazing cappuccino and the mother bakes all the pastries herself. Twice, we went and had her delicious tiramisu. And, they stay open till 11 at night! Oh, just my opinion, but I think the beignets at Jimmy's pizza are a bit overrated, as is Groundswell. Go to Café Utjeha for a more unique coffee experience. We had lip-smacking sausage biscuit sandwiches & a great tomato pie at Bang Bang in Ravenswood. Excellent grits & shrimp at Luella's Southern Kitchen in Lincoln Square. If you want to stock up on unique gifts, go to Amadara on Western & Wilson, just a few blocks west from the Lincoln Square area. The proprieter is from Nepal, his wife is from Thailand, & they curate their gifts from those 2 nations, as well as from Indonesia, India, and several other places. Plan to spend a full hour if not more there.
All in all, we were satisfied to spend our 3-night mother-daughter getaway in Wade's clean, comfortable, & homey apartment and highly recommend it for any type of stay.
