My husband, 2 small kids, and myself had to stay in Chicago for a week on a work trip. It was a nice apartment, but there are some things to note. I made a pros and cons list.
Pros:
- The three bedrooms are a good size.
- Just a short drive to downtown
- Very easy to get delivery if you can’t leave to get food
- Parking was very easy even though it was street parking.
- The kitchen had everything we needed (except for dish towels or extra paper towels)
- The TV was great
- The towels in the bathroom are SO nice and soft.
Cons:
- There are 3 different keys for the 3 different doors to get in. Not a huge deal, but kind of a pain when juggling 2 kids.
- The neighborhood seems rough (although the host insures it’s a safe area)
- The floors are very creaky. With 2 kids I was worried about waking them when we walked around and I was worried about disturbing the downstairs neighbor.
- The entryway to the apartment has a very strong smell of smoke.
- There are no blackout curtains, just sheer curtains, so a lot of light comes in.
Overall, If you’re on a budget and need someplace to stay, I would recommend! Host was very communicative and answered all questions I had during our stay!
