My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 days. We're food enthusiasts and we find that this place is PERFECT!
Check in:
We weren't able to meet James personally because we were late. He was very flexible though and provided us with a self check in. We didn't have any problems with it because he was very clear in his instructions. He sent us photos on where he had the lockbox and which door we needed to go to find the apartment.

Location:
Its the perfect location! You have Walgreen's, a grocery store (big apple...try their homemade bread), and a lot of restaurants by Clark St. It was safe to walk around at night and its very alive especially Thursday to Saturday. I recommend going to The Pasta Bowl ( lobster ravioli), Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co. ( pot pie), Del Seoul (galbi taco) , Luigi Cafe ( get special), Angela's Burrito ( closes at 3am, good Mexican taco!!), La Creperie (for desserts)
Walk a little to the east of Fullerton and visit the FREE zoo. There's the red line that brings you to the loop, just a couple of blocks from the apt. Or take the bus, just in the corner of the block to go to the loop.
Public transportation is very good and very walkable from the apt. So Don't rent a car. The parked cars doesn't seem to move at all.
Apartment:
The studio had everything we needed as advertised in the site. Pans, cups, glasses, cutting board. He even had food and beer in the fridge and cupboard. And cleaning materials youll need. We felt so at home. We had to laundry our clothes and we didn't find any detergent, I think it would be good if that was provided as well. We didn't have a problem with the room at all. It was the perfect size for us. Very clean, well litted and secure. The whole building was old and stuffy. Kind of creepy especially at night. But as soon as you get into the studio, its okay. Its in the first floor and just a couple of steps from the entrance.
I would totally book the same place when I visit again.
