This apartment was great. I hesitate to say how great it was because then everyone will want to stay there and I won't be able to book it again! The apartment is nicely furnished with comfortable furniture. The beds are very comfortable. I slept great. The apartment is in an older building, but the unit has been fully updated. Nice bathroom, Very nice and new kitchen. The unit is on the 3rd floor, so there are quite a bit of stairs to walk up, but the advantage is that it is very quiet -- no footsteps from an apartment above you.
The apartment is in a great location. It is 1/2 block away from a street filled with restaurants and cafes, BUT it is absolutely silent in the apartment. I didn't hear anything. You wouldn't have known you were in Chicago. I had meetings downtown, so sometimes I walked the 4 blocks to the subway, and sometimes I walked the 5 blocks to the express bus. All very convenient.
The communication was great. The apartment was very clean, Lots of towels in the bathroom and so on. The only thing that surprised me a little was that I didn't see any pots and pans for cooking. The kitchen is nice and it might be nice to do some cooking there. Luckily on this trip I didn't need to cook, so it was OK for me. Or maybe I didn't look in the right place for pots and pans?
The price is great for this apartment and I will definitely stay here again when I am in Chicago.
