The apartment is in a historic area near UChicago, making it a great alternative for conference trips if you don't want to stay in the university graduate dorm or pay extra to stay at Hyatt (which is actually further away). The building is older than I thought but the room is clean, well-supplied and smartly organized so I could find all the things I need. The surrounding streets are quiet, beautiful and seem secure. Overall my stay has been very pleasant.
