This is a spacious apartment with a well-equipped, full kitchen and high-end design touches. Our host was an excellent communicator, and checked in with us to make sure all was well. He accommodated our requests to drop off and pick up luggage before and after check-in/-out times. It was a terrific space for a friends' reunion: we spent lots of time together in the open plan living and dining area; yet everyone had room to spread out and enjoy some privacy. Every place we wanted to go in Chicago was easily accessible by train or Uber. Lots of great places in the neighborhood to eat (some deliver). Stairs are steep, which may be an issue for some. Ear plugs and sleep masks may be helpful for those who are troubled by traffic noise and street lights.
