Travel tips
If you plan to explore downtown without driving, consider using the nearby Green Line station (reported as about a 2-minute walk) as your main connection into the city. If lakefront time is part of your itinerary, plan on driving to the closest beach/lake access (about 5 minutes by car). Some guests noted concerns about the entrance/arrival setup and immediate surroundings, so confirm check-in/entry instructions with the host before arrival and arrive with a plan for parking and access.
What guests say
Reviews point to a split experience: some guests enjoyed the apartment’s style and found the neighborhood quiet. Others reported feeling unsafe during arrival, citing an unclear entrance setup (including access via an alley/back entrance) and discomfort with the immediate surroundings. A host response noted in reviews includes providing a full refund when a guest chose not to stay. Overall satisfaction is reflected in a 4.4790697 public rating from 86 reviews, but arrival and perceived safety are recurring concerns in negative feedback.
