We were in town for the weekend for an event (Spartan Deka) and wanted the ability to have a comfortable place to sleep, be in close reach of our destination (Navy Pier), to be able to prepare some small meals and to save some money as well (much more affordable than a hotel). We were close to a few grocery stores. We had street parking, however had zero issues; it might be different during the school year though. Normally I don't like a firm mattress, but my husband and I both slept SO good.
We felt safe in the neighborhood, and all of the neighbors were all really kind who we came into contact with. If you are high strung, it's probably not a spot for you. The common areas of smell of "whacky tobacky", but it CANNOT be smelled in the apartment. It's a small apartment, but perfect for a couple who are in town for a place to rest your head at night. Tanisha was a fabulous communicator. We would definitely stay again if there was ever a need.
