Great base for exploring Chicago, in a quiet and safe neighborhoud. I would advise to hire a bicycle like I did, but distances to public transportation are acceptable. Appartment with a spacious feel, with stylish details. Excellent bed. The airconditioning/heating system is very noisy, yet effective. In spring weather conditions, I did not need it. The kitchen is good in design but amenities are best described as 'eclectic' with 3 (!) frying pans and 1 (!) wine glass. A knife set to make a surgeon jealous but no cutting board. 12 plates and 1 soup bowl. This could in my opinion be improved with little expense. Nevertheless I spent a great week at the expense of a cutting board (which I took home).
