The location is great. When we stayed here the weather was terrible, rainy and cold, and we still walked everywhere because the location is so awesome. You can park on the street but if you don't have a permit you may get towed. Ran in to some of the neighbors and you couldn't ask to meet nicer people. The apartment had no stove but it did have a microwave so plan ahead or eat out for every meal. There was high speed wifi that streamed Netflix with no lagging so that was great. We were in #1 and there was a great view of the street. On Saturday night there was a virtual parade of people going in and out of the building until after 1 am so if you're staying over the weekend and want to sleep at that time, better bring ear plugs. There was a mildewy smell coming from the bathroom and bath towels provided. I'm not sure if the smell is typical of Chicago buildings / plumbing but it was pretty bad. The shower also had soap scum built up on the glass. We were charged a cleaning fee, as I am sure previous tenants were as well, so in my opinion the cleaning service isn't being performed or isn't very thorough. All in all a pretty good deal and if the cleaning / smell and noise issue could be addressed the value would be unbeatable.
