Lincoln Square and Ravenswood is a beautiful neighborhood on the Northside of Chicago. It is very walkable with an endearing strip of independent shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars, and cafes on Lincoln Ave. It boasts 6 award winning breweries and 1 distillery. There are also restaurants, breweries, art spaces and commercial spaces down Ravenswood Ave. Winnemac and Welles parks are wonderful green spaces for recreation and sports in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is family and pet friendly. Transportation is easy with the CTA Brown line train running through the neighborhood. Downtown is a 30 minute train ride away. Lincoln Square is also 3 miles away from Lake Michigan and Wrigley Field.
-Getting around is easy with public transportation. The Western stop on the Brown line is just over three blocks away. There's also a Western bus stop right outside the property and a Lawrence bus stop that's just over two blocks away.
-Taking a taxi or Uber is also a really efficient way of getting around, but if you've never ridden the "L", I suggest taking the Brown line somewhere. The train is elevated off the ground which gives you a unique journey through Chicago's northside.
-For drivers, there is ample, free street parking on Western Ave in front of the building and Winnemac Ave around the corner of the building.
-There are 2 Divvy bike stations nearby the apartment where you can rent bikes. You can return the bikes at any station in Chicago. There a couple of wonderful bike trails in Chicago. One is the lakefront trail which is an 18 mile stretch next to Lake Michigan. The other is called the North Branch trail where you can ride through the forest preserves on a 16 mile trail.
- By making a reservation, you are agreeing to the house rules, and are subject to the posted fines if evidence is found that the rules were broken.
- The portable crib and trundle bed duvet and pillows are stored in the primary bedroom's closet.
- The 2nd bedroom's walls are adjoined to the great room and do not reach the 10 foot ceilings. This creates a cool and unique aesthetic while inside the room; however, don't expect sound privacy from the great room if members of your party intend to occupy that space while you're sleeping.
-The entire unit is not wheel chair accessible. Although there are some positive accessibility features of this unit, it is not fully accessible. The bathroom door is less than 36". There aren't grab bars or a shower chair in the bathroom. The 2nd bedroom walkways are also too narrow for any assisted devices. The positive accessibility features are that there are no stairs and you can comfortably maneuver through the great room, primary bedroom, and kitchen with any assisted device.
