I'm just going to make a Pro's and Con's list about this place, because it had several of both.
PRO's:
1.) very clean & neat with great decor
2.) good location in an up and coming neighborhood; the neighborhood is safe and quiet and we were comfortable walking to/from Logan Square with two small kids; it is about a 1 mile walk to Logan Square and the "L" - Blue Line; Logan Square has several great restaurants & bars; there are really only a couple restaurants within 4-5 blocks of the apartment, but there is a grocery store about 2 blocks away.
3.) easy detailed directions for how to enter the apartment with free street parking right out front.
4.) good free coffee available (but, sadly, no wine).
CON's:
1.) You have to go up three flights of narrow spiral stairs every time you enter/exit, as this is on the third floor and there is no elevator.
2.) There is a funky smell. When we first arrived the apartment was overly "perfumey". After getting a headache from the smell, we removed the plug-in air-fresheners, but then we noticed that they were covering up a gassy/exhaust smell, so we put them back in.
3.) the mattresses are VERY FIRM foam
4.) There is no kitchen table & the breakfast bar is really small, so plan to eat at the coffee table.
