We really enjoyed our stay at Marcus' apartment! It was spacious and very close to public transportation. Even though it's right next to the "el" the building is well insulated, so you don't hear it much at night. We did have some problems with the air-conditioning during our stay. Marcus was very responsive to my messages and it was clear he wanted everything to be fixed. However, due to the holiday weekend (Memorial Day) we were unable to get it fixed. As a result, it was very hot in the unit (well over 80 degrees at night). I'm sure it will be fixed for future guests,. We highly recommend this apartment. I hope it's available the next time we're there :).
