This apartment is exactly as described. The host(s) are quick to respond and they are friendly communicators. The apartment is a basement apartment so it's minimal but the location cannot be beat if you are interested in a Cubs game, nightlife or public transportation. We stayed during an unseasonably warm week so we had to rely on several fans but during "normal" Chicago weather it is probably not an issue. The hosts provided water and snacks upon our arrival and the bathroom was well stocked with just about anything you could need. There's not a good location to congregate in the apartment if you have 3 or more staying there because of the limited space but who wants to sit inside anyway? Overall the apartment was exactly what we needed for our stay and we would definitely stay again if we make it back for another Cubs game.
