Pros: clean, furnished apartment, lots of closet space if you need it; full kitchen with complimentary snacks; very responsive host; free parking spot; close to the red line (5 min walk); view of the lake, elevator access since it’s on the 5th floor; welcome packet in the apartment to make your life easier; cute neighborhood; had lots of amenities in the apartment (i.e shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer, towels); easy to download app to unlock/lock door.
Cons: about a 25-30 min train ride to downtown Chicago (train ride worth it than paying a lot of money to park in downtown Chicago); there was some drilling noise on the floor that woke us up in the early morning but it only happened the one morning and Alma apologized about it and said there wouldn’t be anymore for the rest of our stay; the apartment did get a little too warm for our comfort but once again Alma addressed it immediately; lots of street noise if the windows are open (there is a white noise machine though)
