Great location. We drove in, but the Brown line is within a ten minute walk. At present there is no permit parking (Yay!), so we were able to park for free down the street, but there are some limitations M-F, 8am-4pm at the far end of the street. The apartment was clean and as described. Heat was radiator. I didn’t see A/C but we didn’t need it in the winter. The bed was a king and very comfortable. Nightstands had lamps with USB ports for charging phones if you had a cable. Closets a had few hangers. Being an older building, the wooden floor was quite squeaky, but the noise wasn’t a problem for us. Many restaurants—Mexican, Indian, Irish, American—and coffee shops within a five to 15 minute walk. Martyr’s is walkable for music. Trader Joe’s is a 10 min walk away. Mrs. Murphy’s pub is close—for a fireplace, rugby and soccer. Lincoln square which has a number of good restaurants, the Davis theater, Old Town School of Folk music, and Mertz Apothecary is a ten minute drive. The location is not in the “heart of the action” like Lakeview or River North, but the location is quiet, and the rest of the city is easy to access from there by CTA or car. We had trouble with communication in the beginning because a bot and a human both sent messages confirming and asking for registration information. Because both messages looked the same on VRBO it was very frustrating to figure out which was which. Eventually sorted it. Host was responsive. Would stay there again.
