The apartment is really spacious and very clean. It’s 10 min walk to United Center which was really convenient for us because we were attending a concert. Subway is a 15 walk (Damen) and gets you quickly downtown. Would totally recommend this place.hope to be back!

There were 4 of us in town for the Justin Timberlake concert. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed the accommodations. The only big negative was the downstairs neighbor's dog!!! It did not appear friendly and was free roaming when we arrived home from the concert. No one was supervising the dog but luckily it went inside on its own so we were able to close the downstairs gate and run inside. Otherwise this is a great location if you plan to walk to the United Center for an event!!!
