The apartment was just like it looks in the pictures. It is about a block from the Green Line light rail stop, which you can take all the way back to the airport. So, if you are flying in and you don't want a rent a car, it is a good option. I was there in January so it was hard to know what the neighborhood would be like if it wasn't -3 outside! I would say it is a good value for the price, especially if you are looking for privacy. I was there for a week of school so it worked out well. The wifi is super fast. The one drawback for me was that there is no washer and dryer. However, that is clearly stated in the listing so that shouldn't be a surprise.
