The area was perfect for getting anywhere within a couple minutes. We were walking distance from great restaurants and Wrigley Field. The problems I have were with noisy neighbors; the walls are extremely thin. The pictures made the place look fresh and spacious which was not the case. The walls were dirty, and it smelled of dust. There was a moldy brown bag in the closet. The place also needs some updating. If you are looking for a place where you won't get much sleep because of the neighbors but is close to everything this place is for you.
