The studio apartment was fairly sized and had most of the amenities that anyone staying in town would need. We arrived late at night and it wasn’t a problem due to the keyless entry. The unit is up a flight of stairs, so be prepared to bring suitcases up a hallway of about 15-20 steps.
The unit was clean, had a wall AC unit and central heating. We didn’t need either much since the weather was fairly mild. The neighborhood is quiet and about a 10-12 minute walk from the train station. Most food or coffee shops are about a mile away, so be ready to Uber or bring your walking shoes for a bite to eat or to get your morning coffee. We had purchased some of our own food and kept leftovers in the fridge, so that was convenient seeing that there wasn’t too much without walking a little ways.
Jennifer was in contact with us when we needed to get a hold of her and took care of any issues.
The apartment was clean and while it is an older building, the interior decor is on the modern side. The apartment had a very comfortable couch, so it was nice to spend a couple quiet evenings just watching movies or shows we found on the Roku equipment smart tv.
If you’re on a budget, I’d recommend this Air Bnb if you’re looking for an affordable apartment to stay in while in the Chicago area. It’s not too far from the city and has some charming architecture if you take the time to walk through the neighborhood.
