This was my first time in Chicago, came into town with a friend for a concert. The home was about 20 minutes away from shopping, and downtown which was very convenient. The home was really clean. The only downside of our stay was that whoever was in the apartment above us was incredibly loud and noisy. Something I would recommend is that you guys mention to those staying in the top apartment to be mindful of other guests staying below them besides that the stay was wonderful and everything was great.
