This a good location for people who want to be immersed in an average Chicago neighborhood. The city bus stops east/west are right at the corner. The eastbound bus gets you close to the lake in the fall/winter and closer to Montrose Harbor in the summer when there's more beach action.
The blue line to the west and the brown line to the east, both of which lead downtown among other places, are accessible via the bus. The blue line is the O'Hare airport line. Midway is accessible via either line though you connect downtown for both.
I think Tony's is the closest major grocery store though there are multiple smaller markets nearby including on Montrose itself. Other grocery stores (Jewel, Mariano's, etc.) are accessible via bus or a longish but doable walk. I didn't have a car but street parking seems easy. There's also a parking lot for this building. I suppose that a spot may be for this unit. When I went outside, the lot was never full. There are indie restaurants up and down Montrose and the multiple indie places plus McD's and Starbucks on Kedzie to the east.
The bedroom had good storage including a dresser in the closet. Had access to the shared washer/dryer in space between this unit and the one on the front side of the building. Kitchen was well stocked. Would have liked a more substantial couch but the living room would be cramped with something larger. I worked much of the time Mon-Fri during the day. There is a desk but I ended up working at the kitchen table since I wanted to spread out a bit. Wifi worked well.
This is on the ground floor so below level. The windows have bars just in case but it's generally a safe neighborhood. Also appreciate the central heat/air -- that's not a given in Chicago.
