Due to some travel hiccups, we had an unexpected late check-in, but Anthony was flexible so that was very helpful. Actually getting into the apartment was fairly easy. The location is away from busy streets but within walking distance of various restaurants and businesses. For example, there's a Subway restaurant and a Walgreens a few blocks away. The Blue Line elevated train is a 10-20 minute walk from the apartment so that worked nicely as we didn't rent a car.
There is plenty of space in the apartment between the bedroom, kitchenette, dining area/work space and bathroom. The one negative was that I had to clean out a gob of long hair in the shower. Otherwise, the place is clean and the shower worked well. There is a Keurig, microwave, toaster oven, and "dorm" refrigerator in the kitchenette which is convenient. With that being said, you won't want to try and cook full meals or anything as it's not set up for that. Eating out at any of the local restaurants would be a better option. Also, be careful to check that the plates are microwave safe.
While it didn't bother me, the pipes can get noisy at times and sometimes you'll hear the neighbors upstairs or hear people entering/exiting the building. If you're a very light sleeper, you might keep that in mind.
Overall, Anthony is a good host and the apartment is a nice place to stay. The location is convenient and the neighborhood seems pretty safe (several times, we came across women walking late in the evening by themselves). If you're visiting Chicago, the value is hard to beat.
