Extremely clean and well thought out place. Had everything we needed and wanted, but didn’t feel lived in or cluttered.
The location is fantastic, steps away from a new and well-lit Red Line stop. Getting just about anywhere in the city is a breeze without having to use Uber.
The neighborhood is spotty and seems to be undergoing a pretty rapid face lift. The immediate area around the room is fine, but we heard the other side of the train stop should be avoided late at night. But getting to and from the train from the apartment never felt sketchy, even past midnight.
We didn’t explore much of the neighborhood by foot, but did stop in at the bar below (Nick’s on Wilson) and found it to be a really clean and chill spot with affordable drinks and friendly bartenders. Wish we’d given it a shot earlier in our stay.
The noise from the bar below is definitely noticeable, but with the white noise machine cranked up and comfortable bed we slept really well without issue.
If we come back to Chicago this is where we will stay. Great value and perfect for experiencing the city from a resident’s perspective.
