Pros:
1. Comfortable and clean apartment
2. Very responsive host
3. Pretty good location. 10-15 minute walk to subway, supermarket and Bucktown shopping district. Bloomingdale Trail closer than that, and some cool eating spots nearby, including Atmos Coffee, Jay's Beef, and tacqueria across the street.
Cons
1. Pretty good location. 10-15 walk mentioned above is a bit long, especially in bad weather. Neighborhood is a little rough around the edges, which could be a pro for some people. It is "transitional" with a bunch of new residential construction.
2. Common areas of building aren't so great. Could use a paint job and more regular cleaning. Again, provides a gritty feel that could be a pro for some people.
3. The two windows in the apartment provide light, but they are too high to see out of.
