Nicholas's place was great! The common areas are more spacious than in the photos. It's super clean, bed is very comfortable, and extra soft towels were a great addition. The wifi worked well (super important to me since I work online). There are door codes for the main doors and bedroom doors so you don't have to worry about keeping track of keys! Nicholas was also friendly when around.
I wasn't sure about the area at first but it is on a quiet street a 15-minute walk to the Red Line train, or you can take a 3-minute bus ride there as well. The train is only 2 stops from White Sox Stadium, 3 stops from Cermack/Chinatown, and 4 -6 stops from the city (depending on where you are getting off). The bus also takes you directly to the Museum of Science & Industry, Chicago University, and the Du Sable African American Museum on one end and Midway airport on the other end.
There's not too much to do in the area itself except get a quick bite at Sandwich Queen, Chipotle, Harold's, or Whole Foods but given the price, the niceness of the place, and proximity to the Red Line it was well worth the money. I'd definitely stay again!
