This was the perfect spot for myself and two friends to use as a home base to explore Chicago! The apartment is spacious, clean, and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The A/C was nice for hot nights. Like others have mentioned, being above a bar and directly adjacent to the train station means it can be a little loud - however, it was not a problem for us at all. We expected the noise, enjoyed being in the middle of an amazing neighborhood, and loved the convenience of being by the blue line train. It was so easy to hop on and get to downtown within a few stops, or other neighborhoods with a quick transfer. There were also plenty of earplugs and a fan provided, which helped drown out street noise. We were in walking distance to so many coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. Tip for street parking if you want to avoid paying by the hour on California or Milwaukee Ave: make sure you read the street signs and avoid spots that require a neighborhood permit for overnight parking. (There are plenty of spots a block or two away, just make sure you read the signs.) Communicating with Allyson was easy and clear - checking in was a breeze.
