Anthony’s apartment is within walking distance of The University of Chicago. (a little over a mile away on foot).
It is a cute, cozy, and spacious apartment in an up-and-coming neighborhood. The building is surrounded by a tall, attractive black metal fence, and the front gate has a lock. The gate and fence gave me a sense of security, and it made me feel safe.
The check-in instructions were very easy and straightforward.
The location is in a quiet part of town. I actually much prefer the location of the apartment when I’m visiting my son at UChicago, as opposed to Michigan Avenue which is much further way and very noisy 24 hours a day even when you’re trying to sleep.
We saved $$$ by avoiding Uber rides, which we would have to pay for if we stayed downtown.
If you’d like to have a dark room when you sleep, bring a sleeping mask. The bedrooms have blinds, which do not filter out all the light.
