Saint Ruby's Flats is a wonderful place to stay!

I was in town for a 4 week elective clerkship at JHS Cook County Hospital and found the commute to be very fast and easy, taking at most 10 minutes. The pink line train is literally around the corner. A large grocery store is a $2 uber ride away if you're not planning on having a car in the city.

The apartment itself is lovely. To me, the most important part of any apartment is the kitchen and this one met my expectations. All of the appliances are new, there is enough counter space to get food prep completed, and Dan has filled the kitchen with plenty of pots, pans, plates, bowls, cups, mugs, and silver wear to make everyone happy.

During my stay, the other two bedrooms in my apartment were also in use, but I never found myself feeling crowded. The bedrooms are indeed small, but if I could fit my entire high maintenance lifestyle in there, I am confident you can too. Dan even provided bedding, pillows, and towels which were soft and comfy. A huge bonus was having a washer and dryer in the house. They were located on the first floor, but there weren't too many stairs to get down so not an inconvenience at all.

I was concerned about sharing the 1 full bath with 2 other people, but Dan provided plenty of designated storage space for each occupant. The shower pressure was strong, the hot water never ran out, and I even took a relaxing bath once or twice when the roomies were out. Big bonus is that the bathroom had fabulous makeup lighting!

Dan was a very attentive and pleasant host. He was actually in town for almost the entirety of my stay living in the apartment on the first floor so I got to chat with him each day. He is knowledgeable about Chicago and has maps and tour books available in the living room.

Overall, the experience with the flat and Dan was great. I highly recommend this spot to traveling students!
