Fantastic location downtown, close to tons of restaurants and shopping and very easy to access the train and buses. The building feels incredibly safe and the staff at the front door are very friendly but also take their role of keeping the building private very seriously. The building has a gorgeous pool and gym as well as a lovely balcony with grills and fire pits that is beautifully landscaped.
The apartment has a great view of the Hancock Tower and overlooks the pool. Gets lovely natural light and has good unit-controlled AC/temperature management.
The apartment felt a lot like someone just moved out: had almost no decor, even the couch cushions in the picture were covered in plain bed-pillow style covers. The walls had empty TV mounts and old nails sticking out the the walls. Bedroom rug had a stain in the shape of an iron and counter in the bathroom had reddish stains. The entry closet had scattered bags and leftover stuff like paper napkins etc. strewn about the shelves. There was only 1 towel for a 3 week stay booked for 2 people. There was only 1 working lamp in the whole apartment, I ended up buying a couple since I was staying so long so now there are 3!
It was not an AirBNB that had been thoughtfully created for comfortable stays like some places I had stayed, it felt like a friend let me use their apartment they just moved out of and didn't leave much behind for me and didn't do much to make the space feel welcoming.
The host, Pat, was absolutely lovely and handled a plumbing issue on my first day very quickly and was a great communicator!! I have given lots of feedback about how the apartment could feel/work better and if some small improvements are made it would be top notch apartment! In its current state, I would consider staying there again for a very short trip where I was only using the apartment to shower and sleep, but I would only do another long stay there if some improvements were made.
