This was a terrific base for visiting Chicago, felt very secure, but easy to come and go at any time. The unit was extremely clean with updated furnishings and appliances. Decor/vibe was a bit anonymous, more like a nice hotel suite than a home, which worked fine for us on this trip. Things like AC and TV were easy to use, and except for distant noise from the L-Train, it was very quiet. Very happy with our stay!
