This is a really lovely space, with new higher end appliances and countertops, complete with washer, dryer, and dishwasher. I am accustomed to a lower tier of accommodations, so it was nice to have access to "fancy" new appliances etc. The unit is in the back, so it's insulated from traffic and street noise. The space itself served my needs exceptionally well.
There are a number of decent eateries within walking distance, but I wouldn't characterize the neighboring stretch of Armitage Ave as bustling, and the variety of eatery types were a bit limited. The area did have an "on the rise" feel," so it wouldn't surprise me if the dining choices improves in future years, as the dining industry recovers from Covid.
It is a bit further away from rapid transit than what I would consider ideal, with an 17-20 minute walk to the closest L stop; but it's certainly manageable if you only plan one trip into downtown a day, and the line is the one to O'Hare, so that's a plus.
