This apartment is very conveniently located less than a block away from the bus line. The bed was very comfortable, and my son liked the futon. The shower is really spacious and nice. The host provided towels and linens as well as lots of books and games.
There was no microwave, so don’t expect to bring back some delicious Chicago leftovers. The air conditioning wasn’t working, but the host supplied a portable unit which helped. The check-in was pretty rough because the host left the keys in a lock box, but only provided the code verbally (and my hearing isn’t great). Then the key didn’t work, so we were locked out for about an hour.
The host was pretty responsive and seemed to want us to have a good time, so I trust he will fix these issues for future guests.
