This apartment is extremely spacious and comes with many Chicago craved amenities. It has a dishwasher and microwave, is close to the gorgeous lakefront, is close to buses and the Red Line, and is part of a quiet condo community. Margo makes sure that you are well taken care of in and out of the apartment and communicates well with you about check in and out and about all the apartment has to offer and what is around if you need anything. For city living, it is a very quiet apartment. The neighbors are respectful, so basically all you hear are footsteps walking around on the hardwood floors and water flowing in the pipes in the walls unless something special is happening. It's very peaceful, and the heat works extremely well, which is always a perk in Chicago! There are wonderful overhead fans in every room and a great air conditioning unit as well if you are there during the warm months. It's a little far out from downtown Chicago if that is important to you, but the Red Line and the bus line close by take you directly to downtown areas. You just need to budget extra time to get there. The big grocery store is a 15 minute walk, but there are a few tiny neighborhood mini marts close by for small things. The balcony in the apartment was such a treat to work from as well (I work remotely)!
