Accessibility

Neighborhood

The neighborhood is alive with music, families, events, shops, restaurants and parks — all within walking distance. Public transportation is also close, with the bus line out front, and train systems within a ten minute walk.

Guest Access

We kindly ask that you refrain from entering other spaces upstairs other than your unit. There are businesses and residents that share the building and we believe in the utmost respect of their spaces.

Good to know

The apartment is above the Friendly Bar, which does play music throughout the day, and often has live music in the evenings. If you’re traveling with little ones, or need absolute quiet to sleep…this might not be the best location for you. Many of guests say the noise is not a problem for them, but we just want to ensure you are aware of the space that you are booking.

Other Details to Note

Friendly coffee shop and bar hours (downstairs): M: 7am-9pm T: 7am-10pm W: 7am-11pm Th: 7am-11pm F: 7am-1am St: 8am-1am Sn: 8am-9pm

This rock & roll themed apartment is super cool, in a fun location, and is above both a bar and a café, which was super convenient! Rob runs the coffee place, so it was fun to catch up with him every morning before heading out for the day. would highly recommend, and will be back.

Our family of five stayed here for a quick visit to Chicago. We loved the neighborhood and the ease of getting to and from the city. We would definitely stay here again.
