I don't know a lot about Chicago neighborhoods, but I chose this place because my daughters and I were attending a concert at Union Center and I wanted a place close enough to walk. This was perfect! The neighborhood is very pretty and safe. As we walked to the concert, there were joggers and people walking their dogs or pushing their kids in strollers. We found an AMAZING restaurant (Roots) that was just a 10 minute walk. I would go there again in a second! We walked back from the concert (about 1 mile) at 11:30 pm on a Tuesday night and I never felt uneasy. The street was well-lit and there was plenty of traffic.
The apartment itself is very cute. We only used it to crash overnight, but the beds were comfortable and large enough that we didn't pull out the couch. One of my daughters took the smaller bed and the other shared with me. Very comfortable!
If you are a light sleeper, I would suggest a white noise machine because there is no city noise! I could hear the people upstairs walking around - not excessively, just normal steps. I'm just used to some city noise so it felt odd to me.
Overall, this was a super cute place to stay and very convenient if you're attending an event at Union Center. I would definitely stay here again!
