My family and I stayed here for my graduation from Northwestern so that we could be between Evanston and Chicago. My boyfriend and I arrived a little late on the first night but Rick and their adorable kids greeted us to make sure we settled in alright. The space was very clean and the many bedrooms with mattresses of varying firmness turned out to work well for my family to have their pick of bed. This is a great place to lay your head when you want to stay out of the city but be really close to transit. Cafe Urbano is just up the street and has great coffee and food. Independence Tap is a homey, cash only local bar with cheap drinks and relaxed atmosphere. Just be mindful that finding parking at night can be tricky, but during the day it is very easy.
