The apartment and the value are truly 5 stars!! The sub-optimal location made the overall review a 4 stars.

It's a newly renovated apartment. Everything is beautifully done. The beds are comfortable, kitchen well equipped, and the 1.5 bathrooms were perfect for 3 people. The place has lots of fresh towels, brand new blankets, pillows, and a washer & dryer. We were there for 4 nights for a conference at the McCormick Place. It's a 10 minute ride. The value for money is incredible.

We didn't meet the hostess Jean, but the instructions were clear. There was a lock box at the front which made late arrival easy without needing to meet the host. There was a bottle of white wine in the fridge, some breakfast items, and a nice Keurig coffee machine. Wifi was easy too.

The only downside was the location - "an up and coming neighborhood", i.e. a little sketchy. The condo is upstairs with shops at the bottom. It's not a neighborhood which I would feel comfortable walking around at night (and really there isn't anything around). If you are on vacation, looking for a place with shopping and touring around, this is not the right place.

However, if you are just going to a conference or have a rental car, the parking space at the back is safe. My co-workers and I just took uber or lyft every day, got some basic groceries, and went straight back to the apartment to rest. It was a fantastic savings for us.
