This apartment is in a great location with easy access to excellent bars, restaurants and attractions. Public transit is so close. The apartment is very clean and cute.
Still, we were suprised by some of the realities of this listing. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, the walls and floors shook from the bar music below and the glasses in the cabinets rattled. I'd post a video if I could. We couldn't hear the television in either room and I could make out the lyrics to each Wu-Tang and Tribe Called Quest song. Not intimate. The noise was MUCH more tolerable on the Sunday and Monday, which included New Year's Eve surprisingly.
We were also frustrated that the beds continually slid around the floor at the slightest movement. We woke up and the bed was six inches from the wall!
If you are a nervous traveler or alone, you might also want to know that the corner outside is a bus stop, and when it's cold or rainy people stand in the building doorway to wait for the bus.
If you're going to be out really late or can sleep through really loud music, this might be the spot for you. But if you're hoping to recuperate after a long day of visiting Chicago's great neighborhoods, then it might not.
