Emmanuel has a nice, fully-equipped apartment. He dropped the keys off to me at an event I was running, which really helped me out. I didn't arrive into the apartment until 9PM, and having not only some water but a few beers in the fridge made it really feel like home. The instant coffee in the morning was also very nice.

There is a super market Jewel-Osco within a 5 min walk from the apartment. On school days as you walk over to the red-line station (about 15 min walk) the CPS are on the street corners and wish you good day as you walk by, making the neighborhood feel friendly.

Everything was in good order in the apartment, with the exception of the blinds in the bedroom. Several of the vanes were missing as when the windows are open the breezed can blow them off, the apartment is several floors up. I mentioned this to Emmanuel and he's going to fix this by putting curtains there instead.

Emmanuel was responsive throughout the stay. I was running an event at IIT, so the location was ideal, and great value - especially compared to the recommended event hotel which was charging $300 per night during the week of my event.

Cost of an Uber taxi to downtown is about $5-$7, which if there is more than one person, is easier and cheaper than taking the train. Uber taxis generally arrived within 3-4 mins at the building.
