Spacious Garden Apartment

This was the ideal lodging while visiting my Northwestern students. Super close to campus, and off-street parking were the big selling factors. COMFORTABLE beds -- good mattresses and pillows make a huge difference. Very nice to be able to control heat / temperature in each room. Early morning wake-up due to small children living one floor above. Nice little people, I"m sure, but active and noisy in the AM. Don't forget to bring your own coffee! There is a coffeemaker provided in this unit. Good communication from host ahead of the visit and throughout my stay. Although I did not receive the key code via email as I was expecting, when I called the host, they were very responsive via voice and text and quick to help me get into the building. Tons of space! Very nicely decorated unit. Thick, high quality towels! This was a great stay.
