Francesca’s place is truly special- when you walk in, you can immediately feel that the apartment is well-loved. Each little detail that makes a place feel like home or a cozy retreat away is attended to- the best stocked kitchen in any Airbnb that I’ve been to, plenty of extra toiletries and necessities, the apartment’s decorations and plants and fabrics are clearly all hand-picked to create a space that reminds me of cozy little retreats in New Orleans or Europe. So quiet I could hear a pin drop,- the train, as other mentioned is close by, and I found it to be a comforting low-level background white-noise effect that only added to the charm of this place. And aside from the comfort or the place itself, it’s in one the best and most walkable (to shops and restaurants etc) neighborhoods in Chicago. Easy street parking.
