The apartment is in a prime location and had everything we needed.
The decor and amenities were wonderful, and the furniture was so comfortable I almost wanted to stay and sleep on the couch rather than go up to bed. The living floor is bright and airy, with a wide open space, and plenty of places to sit and relax or even get a little work done if you are on a working trip. The upstairs is a more chill atmosphere with darker furniture and walls, and the large windows… perfect to get a good nights sleep.
Those windows? Amazing views across the city at night. We were fortunate enough to stay during a lightning storm and see lightning across the skyline of Chicago. Breathtaking.
Within a leisurely 30 minutes walking radius (and as little as 5 minutes) there are some wonderful neighborhoods to explore with plenty of shopping, food, bars, and coffee. And a 10-15 minute taxi will be able to get you to the lake or downtown.
If you are a sensitive sleeper or have specific bathing needs there are two things to note: 1. This is an old apartment, so the air conditioning unit is a little noisy (as expected in an old city); and 2., the showers can be fiddly to get right in terms of temperature and pressure (patience!!). But again, this property is a gem and I would stay again at a moments notice.
