The apartment itself was okay for the value. I’ve lived in a basement apartment so I had an idea of what to expect. So here goes:
VERY thin walls, woke up to people yelling upstairs. But not much homeowners can do about that.
Lacks standard pots/pans, and other basic supplies.
The back area, to be completely honest, is dirty. They must clear that back area free of debris and garbage ASAP! Although there are tenants upstairs, your clients should not have to have that nearby. It’s probably the reason why we came across 10 plus millipedes in the apartment— and also why our allergies kicked in very badly! Dust and debris. Made for a very uncomfortable sleep.
The area is horrible. The best thing about the area, is that there’s a train two blocks away to get away from there, and into downtown Chicago. (If you can make it past the two blocks with crime infesting the place). I’m a native New Yorker. If I’m on high alert walking through a block there’s DEFINITELY a reason.
You may want to consider getting tattoos from them. Very unfriendly.
