Overall, a good stay in Chicago. Apartment was clean and nicely furnished, beds were super comfortable and it was nice to have some home comforts such as Netflix etc. available to use!
Just a few things that were frustrating for us. After an 8 hour drive, and it being 6 degrees and snowing outside, we arrived to find another resident had parked across a space for two vehicles, which meant we were left without parking. The resident never answered their phone and never moved their vehicle for the duration of our stay, which meant we had to leave the car in the alleyway - which was an unnecessary risk we had to swallow due to another resident’s inconsiderate parking and lack of communication. Other reviews have mentioned also, but upstairs neighbors are relatively loud - this didn’t create much of a problem, but it wasn’t appreciated being woken at 6:30am after a long day of driving the previous day. Given the issues we had, it rubbed salt in the wound a little to see the nightly price to stay had dropped by 50% by the time we stayed - so it doesn’t always work to book in advance.
In terms of the location, a few nice coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance, which was good to have, but be prepared to drive to other areas if you want to explore the city a bit more.
Leo & Alex communicated well at every stage and provided all the necessary information about check in, check out, as well as hints and tips for our stay - this was all really appreciated!
