This excellent apartment is on the 4th floor of an small office building. It features a large bedroom, a big rec room with a pool table, and a large living room with comfy couches and a TV. It's like a family-friendly bachelor pad. Lots of brick wall and framed sports memorabilia. (There is no elevator, so be prepared to climb stairs.)

We are a 3-person family so my teenage son slept on one of the living room couches, which worked out fine. We were also offered an airbed if the couch didn't work out.

Cristina, who managed our visit, was super responsive and very patient when our flight was delayed for checkin. She also gave us recommendations on where to go to watch the baseball game.

The kitchen and bathroom are well-stocked, and the neighborhood is close to W Randolph St with its tons of restaurants and bars. There's a Starbucks and a grocery store even closer. Bonus points: If you grew up in the 70s, the record collection in the rec room is amazing. There were albums there I hadn't seen in decades.

The apartment was quiet: no noise from the offices below, just the occasional track noise of the El, which runs nearby.

The wifi was a little slow, and when 3 of us showered in the morning the hot water was dicey. But otherwise this was a great place. I would rent it again.
