This older but clean, well kept urban (small) efficiency apartment is one of many in a safe building in a safe neighborhood of Chicago with nearby CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) bus and redline train line on the same street.
Good value for those not looking for luxury accommodations. That said, it’s only several blocks away from the luxury apartments, homes, condos, and retail areas at north tip of Magnificent Mile (Michigan Avenue). Hobknob with neighbors walking their dogs 3- 4 blocks away outside luxury homes.
Do not plan to use a car on a daily basis without paying $30/day or more for parking. I (luckily) found a free spot 3 blocks southwest on N. Wells next to the Moody Institute, left it there the entire 5 day stay and used CTA daily passes instead to roam about Chicago.
Aldi’s is several blocks away, but there’s also a convenience store around the corner and lots of various coffee shops/bars/restaurants within a few blocks’ walk.
