While I didn't personally get a chance to meet Marcus, he was very helpful and friendly to my boyfriend as he checked in. The unit is stunning — it is immaculately clean and beautiful! I love the green aspects that Marcus clearly spent time and effort on to make the unit as energy efficient as possible.

That being said, the neighborhood is honestly not the safest and my boyfriend and I were a bit taken aback by this. (After arriving we did some more research to discover it's the 9th most violent area in Chicago.) My flight got in late at night and when I arrived were some shady characters loitering on the street corner and staring me down. We were also woken up in the middle of our last night by a row of police cars breaking up what sounded like a fight right outside.

All in all, I would recommend the unit but would certainly caution anyone who's a bit jumpy to be wary of the location. We loved the apartment!
