Erin greeted me when I checked in. Showed me the space, gave me a sheet with the wifi info and some other details, and handed me the keys. Didn't see here again after that, but she was very friendly. For being a converted basement, it's a very nice space for the money. Erin and her husband added a lot of little nice touches like phone charger wall outlets and USB cables. A coffee pod machine (though with so many great coffee shops nearby, we never used it). It was in the 30s the entire time we were there, but it never felt too cold or warm in the apartment. Plenty of sheets and blankets too.

It's only a mile and a half to the heart of Wicker Park. I walked it a few times, but it was a $3-7 Uber/Lyft ride. My last day there we to a Lyft to Kanela and had an amazing brunch, then I walked 4 minutes down the street and caught the Blue Line train straight to O'hare for $2.50.

Though nothing super fancy, this is a really nice apartment in a great up and coming location, especially for the price (though I suspect they will raise their rates as it's a steal at it's current price). It is a basement apartment and there are some places where the ceiling is really low, I'm 6'5" and had to duck in some areas. The apartment is non-smoking, but somebody in the house smokes, and though I only noticed it when coming in the main entry, I could smell it on my unworn clothes when I got home. I would still highly recommend staying here.
