This place is in a great location! I was coming from out of town and was nervous about picking a neighborhood that could be unsafe. Just from the view of the street this place is on (it's on a main busy road) I wasn't sure. But, if you walk east or west you are surrounded by beautiful neighborhoods! The Lincoln Park area east of the apartment was also so fun to explore. It's an easy walk to public transportation and if you like walking, it's a good walk to the zoo, shops, and restaurants!
