Will's place is actually perfectly located by one of the entrances to the 606. If you have any interest in walking, biking, or skating, the 606 is a pleasant elevated walkway that will take you all the way to Bucktown and the Blue Line without having to deal with traffic. That was really the highlight of staying there. The neighborhood is also a nice place to walk during the day and close to part of Chicago's network of tree-lined boulevards.
NOTE: Be sure to read Will's instructions about getting to his place! You won't find it otherwise.
The place is an apartment minus a kitchen, which to us, was perfectly fine, and had it's benefits over a shared space. It felt like it had just been built out, and its nascent Wes Anderson interior design has potential. Despite being partially below ground level, the living room / bedroom is bright and a pleasant place to hang out. There's no desk, but I was able to move a kitchen chair into the living room area and work from there. There's not a sufficient space for two people to store their clothing, so you will be living out of your suitcases if you plan to stay more than a couple of days.
The laundry room was a plus. There's a microwave, mini fridge, and table for two in one side of the laundry room. The utility sink functions as the kitchen sink. We didn't use the coffee maker and Keurig because they weren't clean. The whole place could also use a dusting and the edges of the floors swept, although when I mentioned this to Will, he offered to make it right.
Overall, we were happy with our stay and would recommend it if you aren't meticulous about cleanliness. I got the sense that our experience was an outlier because we changed the dates of our stay at the last minute and Will had to be out of town for an emergency, so I would be willing to try it again because of the location.
