Giovannie thought of everything in terms of provisions & amenities! (Coffee, Netflix, towels, comfy bed, etc.) And I appreciated his prompt, thorough answers. The apartment was very well equipped to spend a week, and a great value for the price. It is definitely an attic, with low ceilings in the bathroom (I'm tall so I noticed!) but it's a cute, nicely furnished place and spotlessly clean. If planning to sightsee, you should look up the neighborhood and map out distances from where you want to visit; it is a bit "off the beaten path" in terms of touristy stuff. But public transportation in Chicago is great, so no problems getting around. Plus, a big grocery store, a diner, and a Binny's are conveniently just a few blocks away.
