The apartment is beautiful--clean, nicely decorated, uncluttered. The beds are very comfortable; we slept really well. The kitchen was sparkling. The decor is modern and clean. Check in/out was very easy. The apartment was well stocked, with towels, shampoo/conditioner, cleaning supplies for the kitchen, even a first aid kit.
A few notes to be aware of--
The apartment is ground floor, so there is street noise in the bedroom--it's not a busy street but we heard people talking outside. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
As others have noted--the parking space is very small. Our Honda Accord did not fit, and we parked on the street. Compact cars only means just that, don't come thinking you will squeeze a bigger car into the spot. We were concerned about the availability of street parking, but always managed to find something within a block or two.
Also as others mentioned--the shower does take a very long time to heat up. Be patient. We were concerned about comments regarding the water pressure but in the end it wasn't a problem for us.
There is no dresser in the bedroom, so we lived out of our suitcases. For a few days that's fine, but something to be aware of for a longer stay.
The apartment has a strict no shoes policy. This is emphasized in the apartment notes. There is a white rug in the living room, and the notes specifically say that if the carpet is dirty from shoes, an extra cleaning fee will be applied. I have no problems taking off my shoes inside, but my husband felt that was not welcoming, and perhaps a white carpet is not the best choice for a rental unit.
The location is perfect for us for our visits to Chicago, and we would certainly consider staying there again!
