This apartment was a good price for Chicago. I would describe it as very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The host was very accommodating about needing my arrival time to be earlier, due to a couple of special situations.
My son has lived in several different apartments in the Chicago area while earning three college degrees (was visiting him). I would say that this airbnb apartment is very similar, in terms of age, space, fixtures, etc.....except that it is MUCH cleaner and it's uncluttered! It appears to have been recently painted. Fixtures and appliances like the kitchen sink are a bit worn, but completely clean. It's not luxurious, but to get that you have to pay a whole lot more. I was staying by myself, but there's room for four to sleep, if they don't mind sharing one bathroom. (No tub, just a shower.)
There are seven steps down, as it's in a basement. I had an injured foot in an orthopedic boot, but there's a secure banister, so it was manageable. There are also handicap bars in the shower and next to the toilet, if needed. The way it's layed out might work for someone in a wheelchair, if the stairs can be managed. The doorways seem standard size, though, not extra wide.
The kitchen has basic pots and pans, dishes, silverware, utensils, etc. Not much counter space, so you probably wouldn't want to cook a whole feast, but it's fine for cooking basic stuff or simply heating up food . There's a Keurig coffeemaker, and a plentiful basket of coffee pods. No dishwasher. The shower has a nice variety of full-size shampoos, conditioners, and body washes. There's a desk in the living room which isn't in the photos. That was nice for using my laptop. The bedroom closet has plenty of hangers, and has extra blankets, sheets, pillows, and towels. The bed was very comfortable! I normally sleep on a Tempurpedic, and this was just as cozy.
It felt very secure there. There's an exterior door as a main entrance for what looked like three apartments. This airbnb is one of them, and has its own door, inside from the lobby. The windows are cinderblock glass, with a small section in each window that can be opened. No one could fit through these. The lighting was good enough, despite the small windows. There are lamps and overhead lights.
Other reviews mention hearing the sounds of people above them. I heard someone walk above me exactly twice during my two night stay. That was it. When staying at my son's apartments in Chicago in the past, it was much, much worse, with a whole lot of walking and movement, to the point of being able to hear the people's voices. Not here. So, yeah, you will likely hear signs of life above you, but it isn't likely to be disruptive.
Humbodlt Park is two doors down. I didn't go there, due to my injured foot, but it looks like a nice place for a walk, or just to be in nature for a little while. Parking was easy at the curb in front.
I'll likely stay here again when I come to Chicago, if it's available!
