First, let me say that we would absolutely stay here again and plan to do so, as we are frequent fliers to Chicago and really enjoyed some significant things about the apartment.
The down sides: the place has the air of slight neglect. There were several weirdly broken and missing items. The inside handle to the master bedroom was barely hanging on and we were wondering at some point if we would get stuck inside, lol. There was tape on the windows and the master bathroom was missing a door, which made for some awkward moments and a banishing of each other from the bedroom. The windows lack any sound barrier and there was quite a lot of sound from the street, with multiple angry bouts of horn blowing and at some point what looked like a violent fight between a couple down below on the pavement. There was no note from the host and they don’t provide any coffee, although there was a coffee maker.
Lest you think that this is a bad review, let me hasten to say that the place was very attractive, filled with interesting things to look at and a very calming color scheme that was delightful to spend time in. It was a perfect set up with the bedrooms being on opposite ends of the apartment, which made for a great deal of privacy for each couple. It was in a wonderful location, and there was a café across the street where we were able to get breakfast in the morning and a glass of wine and pastry in the evening. The beds were extremely comfortable and the linens were oh-so-soft.
As I said, we all agreed that we would stay there again and we’re very pleased with the ease of entry, the location and the comfortability of the apartment. And others must have complained about the noise, because they kindly provided machines in each bedroom. ♥️
