Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful building, nice location/neighborhood. 1st floor did not have couch as advertised, and limited seating was available. Heat wasn't on the first night, but management came and turned it on the second night. Satellite TV went down and requests for service went unanswered by management (no response whatsoever to calls and email). Wasn't too big of a deal until until two days later me and my friends finished the marathon and returned to apartment while suddenly fielding phone calls concerning our safety. Would have been nice to have a working TV in order to track what was going on in the city the days that followed.

Apartment clean, Street noisy but ok with us.Liked walking to the tube. Our biggest problem was coping with an apartment set at 64 degrees. We froze. Should have been able to control it ourselves. Owner not helpful.

Beautiful apartment for a comfortable stay for 5 people. Conveniently located next to a restaurant serving delicious food. Although there was an annoying internal vacuum which would go on in the morning which was very noisy.

Reviewer Comments:
I felt that the property was located in a convenient spot to public transportation, but it might be helpful to explain that you can take the #17 bus right in front of the building to the Andrew station on the Red Line. We figured that out ourself. Also, the availability of street parking was very good.
On the negative side, several of the pull-up blinds were damaged and the absence of one in the bathroom was not good at all. In hindsight, we never called about it, so that's on us, but I suspect that the cleaning crew should have checked that out when they came in prior to our coming in. Also, it would be helpful if you provided a few of the necessities--toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags.
I would enthusiastically recommend it but would advise a potential renter to make sure they call if there are any issues like we had. Also, the amount of hot water was good, but if there's anything that can be done about the water pressure in the shower and kitchen, you should do it. Shower drain needs Drano'd.
