Enjoyed our 2.5 weeks stay at this spot. It isn't perfect, but has a lot to offer.
Pros:
* location -- super central in one of the best neighborhoods in Chicago, and close to the lake. A+ location.
* wifi -- we had two people take meetings from here for two weeks, with no issues, and there was a desk and a table so we were easily able to have two work stations.
* shower -- great water pressure.
* quiet -- we never heard any noise from the neighbors or outside (except the upstairs neighbors walking around).
* space/cleanliness -- the place was clean and spacious, the kitchen was well-equipped, and overall the apartment is comfortable.
Cons:
* the building is old, so you will hear your upstairs neighbors walking around.
* AC is loud (can't sleep with it on) and not super effective outside of the bedroom (there's a ceiling fan in the room, which is quiet and works well).
* the common spaces in the building are run down, and while the apartment is remodeled inside and looks nice, much of the details and finishing were done cheaply (e.g., the modem and tv wires run across the walls, the furniture is not super comfortable, the toilet paper etc. is low quality).
* the host was communicative but unaccommodating. For example, they provided only one towel per guest, and did not agree to provide an additional towels for us, even though we stayed at the AirBnB for 17 days (and there's no w/d in the apartment).
Overall, the pluses of this place definitely outweigh the minuses, especially for a shorter stay.
