It was great. The only thing was the people in the apartment above and the hard walking/noise. Not a lot to do about it but overall a wonderful stay.Thank you

Nice place to stay in Evanston
Condo was as pictured, very clean, updated, comfortable. Full kitchen, well equipped. Since it’s an older updated building, there are few electrical outlets. Bring a power strip or two.
Parking was not too hard to find, the farthest away we had to park was just over one block. CTA station was 10-15 minute walk.
Close to parks, walking paths and beaches - be aware you need to buy a beach pass to access the beaches. $12 per person/day.
We enjoyed our stay.
