This apartment is a great find and a great value in Chicago. It is spacious, with comfortable beds in both bedrooms and a nice, big sectional. The kitchen is well- appointed, and the extra touches such as water and a bag of ice were appreciated. Bill and Kathy provided us with a lot of leads on great restaurants -- loved Cleo's and Giordano's Pizza -- and places to shop, visit, etc. They also provided easy and detailed instructions for checking in and out. The location is near the 63rd street Metra station, so you can get up near Union Station via the Metra is under a half hour and then walk or transfer to the "L" from there. We also drove into Hyde Park, Bronzeville and other nearby areas easily. We felt safe in the neighbourhood, the street was quiet, there was always parking (even leading up to and during the marathon, which is why we were in town). It is also near a great park (we went jogging there) and a golf course, much to the delight of my partner who managed to squeeze in a round during our stay. All in all a great weekend, thanks Bill and Kathy!
