Unbelievable value! Great Location! Lots of space! I'll stay again.
My roommate, his girlfriend, and I drove in from Kansas City for the weekend so we could catch the Royals play at Wrigley.
Location:
10 minute walk to the red line, which we used to get straight to Wrigley, and explore around the rest of the city for the day for $5/person. Edgewater is a cool area. The neighborhood we were in was pretty quiet - I walked around quite a bit and felt safe. I found a great coffee shop (Ellipsis Coffee) on Devon, and a friendly pub (Cunneen's) to grab drinks later that night, also on Devon. The best stop was definitely brunch at Uncommon Ground. I'd go to Edgewater again just to go there.
Parking:
No driveway, but all the streets around the place have free parking. It is mostly full, but we were able to find a place right around the corner, even arriving late on a Saturday night.
Building structure / style:
Nice, older building. Very clean throughout, no weird smells or unwanted discoveries. Lots of nice design touches and extras (example - card table with several board games). Tons of space. No central A/C (as to be expected in this area), but there were window units throughout that worked well. The apartment starts on the 2nd floor (living, kitchen, bathroom), and the 2 bedrooms make up the 3rd floor. So lots of stair climbing, which I actually like, but if that was a problem you would want to reconsider. The building and unit doors are all digital keycodes instead of physical keys, which is nice for lots of reasons, but mainly nice that we showed up after midnight and didn't have to bother anyone to get inside.
Bedrooms:
The 2 bedrooms make up the entire 3rd floor of the apartment. They each have a private door, as well as share a door in between them. The main bedroom is huge! The bed is actually a king size bed. The 2nd bedroom is a more standard small room size - adequate to walk around the bed and get ready, etc. The bed in the 2nd bedroom is a full size. We did have to turn on the window A/C units in the rooms upon arrival, and then wait a bit to get comfortable and go to sleep. They have adjustable temp thermostats and worked well to stay cold throughout the night. Both rooms have ceiling fans, and there are additional floor fans in the main bedroom for overkill. We're all super picky sleepers - the beds were comfortable. The pillows were just okay, but I'm the kind of weirdo that travels with my own pillows anyway. If I flew instead of drove, or I wasn't a crazy person, I'd have been fine.
Bathroom:
Nothing to complain about. Certainly not enough space for more than 1 person to be in there at a time, but as a solo bathroom it was good. Everything was super clean. Hot water works great. Shower pressure is great, and it has a newer fixture with removable hose that was nice. Stocked with basic soaps/shampoos/etc, and 3 fresh towel sets.
Kitchen:
We didn't use the kitchen much, but it had everything you need if you were trying to - full size clean refrigerator/freezer, lots of cookware/plates/silverware, basic food prep items
Living room area:
Decent couch seated 3-5 people, plenty of extra chairs scattered around if needed. We all 3 were working remotely on Monday morning, and we actually each had a separate table and chair to use (card table, dining table, desk/workstation) and kind of separated out so we weren't bothering each other with meetings and such.
