The apartment is quite nice, very well appointed though it is the opposite of a LOFT. It's below ground level and you really can't ever open the windows/shades as everyone walking by can see into the apartment. That said, I would happily stay there again, the location is great and Lisa has provided a well equipped apartment. Only 2 suggestions: luggage racks so luggage can be off the floor and dimmer switches on lights, especially the living room. We hope to come back for another visit to Chicago as we love the City. Thank you for making your apartment available.
