This apartment was functional for what I needed- basically a place to sleep and get dressed when I was attending a wedding. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone who wants a true landing pad. The building is very old and run down, the beds aren't real beds - just mattresses on the floor, and the appliances are old and hard to figure out. I was surprised at how expensive listings were in Chicago and I chose this for its price. Again, it was functional, but if i'd needed to do more than shower and sleep, I guess I should have paid more for a nicer place.
