This apartment is extremely well located two very short blocks from the Damen stop on the blue line, in a neighborhood with great restaurants and nightlife, and still pretty close to downtown. It is a basement apartment, which may not be clear from the photos. This gives the advantage of the apartment being naturally cool and quiet, but there is no natural light in the bedrooms, if that is important to you. I didn’t mind that but my children did. We were overall satisfied with the apartment, although it’s true that the bedrooms are extremely narrow and getting in and out of bed is somewhat difficult since you can’t walk around the beds. Everything was clean, the a/c worked well, and the hosts were very nice and communicative throughout the stay. You should expect to purchase what you need when you get there, the apartment was equipped with a modest amount of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, coffee filters, and some tea, and that was about it. There is coin operated laundry on the same level. We weren’t sure if that was shared with the rest of the building or not, but no one used it while we were there. Overall, if you don’t mind things being somewhat basic this is a good choice.
