As someone visiting Chicago for the first time, the location of this apartment was perfect. Walking distance to food, nightlife, the Target right across the street, and public transport. It's also a short uber / lyft ride to anywhere else you want to go. I agree with some of the comments that the place looks newer in the pictures than it does in person. That being said, it's clean and with some small updates, could get that brand new feeling people might be used to. Overall, as a solo traveler just looking to explore and get to know the area, this was a good value.
