Huge, easy-to-like living space. If you've experienced Chicago hotel rooms, then you'll know not to expect much from them and to pay through the nose. This apartment is a great alternative: a bright, well-located living space with elevator access, two generous bedrooms (one is really massive), both with en-suite bathrooms.
Nearest L stop is around 12-14 minutes on foot depending on how quickly you walk, and there are stores, bars and restaurants within walking distance. The Magnificent Mile was 45 minutes on foot for me.
There are funky loft touches, such as exposed brick and pipes, a decent kitchen with plenty of plates and glasses and a gas-burner stove, and so many choices of mood that you'll easily accommodate two couples who like to spread out and have their own space. It has two lounge-style sitting areas, one with a massive flat-screen TV, a monster dining table that could easily seat eight or even ten, water cooler, coffee maker, microwave and bluetooth speaker.
Bedding was modern, spotlessly clean and high-quality. Towels were fluffy and new-looking.
I stayed with a friend in October. We needed to put on the heat and it worked perfectly, warming the place up quickly.
A couple of things I didn't like so much: the carpets throughout the space are a little grubby-looking (the place was spotlessly clean, so this is more of a mood comment really -- its color didn't help, being a sort of mid-brown. I'm certain the place is always cleaned well, because I am pretty fussy about that and it's up to my expectation). The lobby door from the street is tough to open and sticks about half-way, which can be tricky when you're coming in or out with cases. The bathrooms (I emphasize again) were clean, but feel like they are overdue an update. Some of the electrical switches are old and a little hard to figure out. Wifi is not very good.
A few little additions would help a lot: a decent corkscrew, sharper knives, more (and matching) cutlery, leave towels rolled up on the bed so guests don't have to hunt for them, somewhere in the bedroom to drape clothes over.
Strongly recommended.
