Alex's place is in a great location, particularly if you are interested in great bars and restaurants. My friends and I had a great time exploring the neighborhood on foot, and it's super accessible to trains to and from the O'Hare and lots of attractions. Alex was super responsive and made our stay very easy. He even provides snacks, bottled water, etc. We didn't use a ton of the apartment amenities since we were out and about so much, but all in all it was a great landing spot for our long weekend in Chicago.
