Cory was very accommodating to our early check in request and access/entry was a breeze. You can tell there were some improvements made to an outdated apartment. If staying long, be aware there is no dresser/chest to put your clothes away. The bathroom has a linen storage but is already occupied. A closet is located in the apartment but is more of a utility closet, definitely not ideal for clothing. There were areas of the apartment that had cobwebs, even in the bathroom. Extra sheets and linens were available which was great. Location is perfect (close to city bus line) and very close to downtown Chicago. There IS free parking but gets limited later in day and be aware of street sweepers that require you to move frequently as well!
