This apartment was a pleasant surprise. It is literally steps out of the El Train station. Every convenience you need is within walking distance - restaurants, coffee stores, workout locations (Orangetheory is a favorite of ours), grocery stores. We stumbled upon Fulton market on Sunday afternoon and caught the tail end of a live jazz music performance. We used the El train or Uber to see those attractions that were further away. We did take the El train from O'Hare to the apartment. It is totally doable if you don't mind hauling suitcases up and down stairs, etc.
As for the apartment, it had everything we needed. The bedrooms are a great size. The common living space is very large. All is recently updated and very clean. The beds are really comfortable. Even though the El train is visible from the unit (it's very close) and there are restaurants below, the noise is faint from the living room and not heard from the bedrooms. Rooms are quipped with black out shades. The owner provides generous snacks and coffee/drink choices. We were spoiled. Lastly, David is the best communicator! He responds to any inquiries almost immediately and has great suggestions for places to eat and see. He also seeks feedback on how they are doing as hosts to ensure the best guest experience.
I would come back to this rental time and time again! It was fantastic! Thank you!
