I’d recommend this place highly if you’re looking for a nice and affordable place to stay near downtown in Chicago. It’s a very convenient 5 minute walk to the Blue line and has many restaurants and few small bars nearby. Although it’s right next to campus it’s a very clean and quiet neighborhood. This apartment is low frills but has everything you need for a comfortable stay and to help keep costs down, like a fully supplied kitchen. I loved having coffee on the sunny balcony patio every morning before going out.
