Was in the market for a one month rental for a medical rotation at Illinois medical district. This area is very convenient for those working/studying around the area as it is less than a 10 minute drive to get to IMD. Price is unbeatable. The inside is well maintained and furnishing is modern.
However just be aware that the safety of the neighborhood reflects the price point so make sure you are comfortable with that before you book the place. There was a shooting that involved 14 victims that occurred 2 blocks away during Halloween weekend and made national headlines. Joelle stresses safety and urges locking of 4 doors prior entering the apartment. Be aware of your tolerance to living in high crime areas before you book as it is different for everyone.
Lastly there were significant problems with the wifi during my stay which were detrimental to my virtual interviews (learned to bring Ethernet cable) . Joelle was quick to respond with a wifi extender but the problem persisted.
