This neighborhood felt safe even in the middle of the night. There's a school across the street and lots of people with dogs. Walkable to many restaurants, bars, the lake, groceries, and the Lincoln Park area. It is a garden level apartment so you will hear footsteps and people entering and exiting the front door, but it didn't bother us. Very functional space, the kitchen was set up well with all you'd need to make your own meals, the water pressure and temperature was good, the bed super comfortable, and all in all the space was great for a few day getaway and if we ever felt the need to stay in the same area again, we would stay here. Parking permits were provided and we were very grateful for that.
