Starting with the positive: Fantastic location. Nicely furnished. For a studio it was very spacious. Property manager was super responsive and professional. The negative: Upstairs tenants were so loud it was impossible to sleep. One party lasted until 4am! Central heating unit is controlled by the upstairs, so the basement unit turns into a sweat lodge at night and there is nothing you can do about it. Amenities are at a minimum: no microwave, no ice maker, no cable (just Roku - so no live programming of news or sports), no closet to hang clothes. As much as I adore the Gold Coast of Chicago, I will opt for alternate accommodations in future. Sorry, Julian.
