We really enjoyed our stay at Dan's apartment. Highly recommend for your Chicago trips.
[Apartment] Exactly as pictured. Three bedrooms and one bath. One of the bedrooms is much larger with a bigger bed. I went with 2 other guys and it was perfect. We all had our own privacy, but we were also able to chill in the living room together. Very much appreciated the temperature control, especially during the cold Chicago winter. Beds were soft and comfortable. Apartment was super clean -- very Ikea-inspired decor. If you're sensitive to noise, we often heard footsteps coming from the floor above, but it was usually in the morning or afternoon, never at night. Otherwise, neighborhood is very quiet.
[Location] Speaking of neighborhood, the apartment itself is situated in a somewhat sketchy area on what appears to be an abandoned street. But we never felt unsafe or heard anything dangerous going on during our stay. That being said, I would still practice common sense and make sure to lock all your doors and not wonder late at night. Parking was super easy -- there's very few cars parked on the street and we almost always found a spot right in front of the apartment. The apartment is also conveniently located next to the highway. Overall, if you have a car or if you plan on using Uber/Lyft, it's a great location because most places (Downtown, Chinatown, etc.) are just a 15min drive away. Not much to explore in the immediate area though.
[Amenities] The apartment has pretty much everything you need. Awesome TV in the living room (Netflix is available for free). Large kitchen and dining table. Basic needs such as towels, toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body soap/hair dryer), and toilet paper were all provided. Can't recall any specific thing that felt missing or was not provided in sufficient quantities.
[Host] Dan was very responsive and provided very specific instructions about checking in and checking out. We didn't have any issues come up during our stay, but I'm sure Dan would be happy to take care of it right away. It's very clear that a lot of thought and care went into this apartment.
