Its proximity to the L train as well as bars and restaurants

The stairs

Location was the main point, now parking is a different beast. I am not from a major city so one ways and parallel parking are not common, super happy I rented a car instead of a truck. Beautiful boulevard with so many trees loved that.

The parking, my understanding was off street, it is street parking which is tough to figure out if not familiar with area and parking area assigned numbers.

Clean, great price !

Parking was a little hard, got fined but i didnt pat attention to the hours

location

Parking space is valued much in big cities like Chicago. We booked this accommodation because of the parking pass we can use for street parking. Even the main street needs a parking permit. We got there and there was NONE in the "locked box" inside by the hallway. The alternative given was to check the mailbox at the front door. I sorted through the dirty wet mail (Chicago just had a thunderstorm) and there was NONE. Then the next alternative given was to park in the back of the building under the L train track. There were broken glasses on the ground and garbage cans, so No. We ended up booking a SpotHero space nearby which was a little challenging to locate because it's late at night, and we have to locate the garage through an alley. We told them we were arriving late (around 10:30 pm). One would think that's plenty of time to have the parking pass available already. This extra detail and thoughtfulness come a long way with guests. It was a very stressful experience looking for the magical parking pass and looking for the SpotHero space. We were tired and frustrated already due to our delayed flight, late night and the stress of the lack of parking aggravated our situation. My suggestion to the owner is to put the parking pass inside a sealed envelope with the guest name on it inside the locked box or better yet inside the designated apartment. This is a very easy solution. If people are sensitive to noise of the train, this place is not for you. The tiles in the shower could use an update. We appreciate the curtains on the windows to block out light though.
