Poorly managed and maintained Positive: The beds were very comfy! There is a grocery store within a 5-10 min walk. AC work great. Decent amount of hot water. Close to public transit. Negative: The access code didn't work for a few hours, property manager took a while to respond then said we weren't entering the code properly, 3 of us tried it on the gate and the door and it didn't work. Internet was disconnected for the first 2-3 days, the property said to connect to the other wifi, there was none. I fought with them to get it turned on. No hand soap in the kitchen (they had a bottle of hand sanitizer only), broken glass on the counter upon arrival, fire alarm removed, water filter in the fridge needed to be replaced, coffee table super wobbly, minimal kitchen supplies such as very few glasses / mugs, pots and pans. And they added water to the hand soap dispensers in the bathrooms, I'm guessing they ran out? They have you sign a temporary lease agreement and will charge for any damages so I spent about 1-2 hours taking photos and videos after check in so I would be charged for what was already damaged like art pulled off the walls and stains on most surfaces. For how poorly the unit swas maintained I'm shocked they had us sign an agreement. The rental for 3 ppl at 6 days was $3400. For me thats pricey and I do expect things like hand soap and internet. I would not stay here again or rent from this property manager. Now I've stayed in similar situations for 1/3 the cost and I didn't have complaints because this is the level if maintenance is what I expect at that price point; but for this price I struggle to give the property 3/10.
We enjoyed our stay at this location. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up, and the parking was convenient. The only downside was the restriction on the number of visitors allowed at one time, which meant I couldn’t have my siblings visit as I had hoped. Aside from that, everything was great, and we truly enjoyed our stay overall.
Convenient location from downtown Chicago. Free parking. The apartment is spacious.
