The apartment is in the basement of a house, but it has nice amenities and furniture (including laundry!) We really liked the area - very walkable to the brown line and lots of restaurants with food from all over the world. One thing to be aware of is it is an immigrant neighborhood - so we did worry our stay might be contributing to gentrification and displacement of families that have been in the area a long time. It’s definitely something worth researching when staying in Chicago!
