Really large and completely renovated apartment in a house that sits back from the street - unlike the other houses. This allows for lots of natural light and a large front yard. There is easy street parking and restaurants and bars are within easy walking distance. The apartment has all new windows, new bath fixtures, all new kitchen appliances, cabinets, lighting, etc. -- it's really entirely new inside. Second floor is a bonus in this two-unit house. It was very quiet during my stay. Johnie is very accommodating and generous. I didn't use the L while there but I know there is an Irving Park location which would make for easy access to and from O'Hare as well as downtown and stops in between.
