This is a great location if you want to be able to get downtown quickly and easily. There are also some great restaurants as well as a Walgreens, Target (With Starbucks and CVS inside) a few blocks away that is open late.
The apartment is great. It's clean and has a long open layout. It has central air and you have access to the thermostat so you can adjust the temperature accordingly. There is private parking available of desired. The area is quiet aside from the occasional Chicago construction. It's a great value and I will definitely stay here again.
