This apartment was no-frills, but comfortable and very clean, and true to its description. I guess I hadn't noticed the part about it being in a noisy area, so that caught me off guard, but surprisingly, I grew mostly accustomed to it by the second day of my stay.
For a three bedroom apartment, it's a great value, less than what my colleagues were paying for their hotel rooms, plus it's so convenient to everything. There are several bus stops only a couple minutes' walk away and the CTA Red Line station isn't much farther.
What made my stay truly special is the over the top attention my hosts gave to me as a guest. They responded to every query within minutes and met me at check in, which was a first for me.
