The apartment is just like the photos. It's clean and has everything you need. Phillip was responsive to texts and provided a lot of info about the neighborhood if you haven't been there before. We didn't spend much time in the apartment as we spent the whole day before at a festival. It was nice to come back to and crash after a long day in the sun. We don't live to far from Chicago, but since our friends were all smart enough to move out of IL we would definitely stay again if there is a weekend of events to go to.
