If I could give Barbara’s place 10 stars I would! My husband and I stayed here for a month and it was a perfect experience. The flat was so clean, comfortable, and cozy. It had everything we needed (and more) for our stay. We were both able to work remotely during the day (great WiFi) and then in the evenings and on the weekends there was no shortage of new places to explore. We particularly loved walking to the beach each day and also having drinks at the super cool Rogers Park Social which was right around the corner. Very close to the Loyola campus and Redline stop was right there for those that want to venture downtown. Drive to Northwestern was about 10 minutes too.
Communication with Barb was so easy and she was extremely responsive to any need we had. Ample street parking but there was also a small garage space available. The flat was SO quiet. Used Instacart for grocery delivery but markets are also within walking distance.
We absolutely LOVED our stay and felt like a part of this incredible neighborhood if even for a short time. I would highly recommend staying at Barbs place and hope to make this a yearly trip!
