Rui’s place was a wonderful escape from the city. It was very clean, quiet, comfortable bed, and great views of the city skyline. Easy to access building, lots of street parking(except on Tuesday/Wednesday) it got a bit tougher on alternate days. Quick access to the L which can get you just about everywhere with minimal changes. The building feels very new, everyone was nice inside.
I did have an issue during my stay which was out of Rui’s control. Late on a Saturday night the elevator was broken, making entry impossible into the building. Rui first tried everything she could to get someone to open the fire escape, and when that did not work, she helped locate and paid for a hotel a few blocks away. While this was a drag, it was very professionally handled. I think now she will recommend that you always keep the side door key on you after you check in! The elevator was working again in the early morning.
Can’t wait to come back to the city, this will be a first choice!
