we couldnt have asked for a better place. Allyson was amazing and so was her apartment. we were 4 senior adults. the bedroom bed and the 2 sofa beds were 10 on 10. lots of bedding, towels, coffee, tea and tp for our entire 9 night stay, how convenient is that? lots of restaurants within a block, laundromat 2 blocks away. we didnt visit the bar downstairs but neither its music nor the California subway station bothered us-we were grateful the blue line was so handy to/from the airport and to downtown. its 2 flights of stairs up to the apartment as well as up to the subway (no elevator) which was not an issue for us. the wifi was superb. we will check this place out first on our next visit to chicago. thanks allyson, well done
