The apartment is very small, smelled like weed and had a clogged sink in one of the bathrooms. I called to see if they would fix it and did not get a response. With only 2 bathrooms and 5 women this was a problem. The unit had a wash machine but no dryer. There were not have enough towels or wash cloths in the unit.

This is a perfect location to walk around downtown, have dining options at walking distance. Everything was perfect for my family trip. The only issue is the noise its close to walgreens that gets deliveries at like 5am and the noise is so bad it wakes you up.

Great location but awkward setup

Great location and convenient check in/out. Plenty of space but thin walls. A full length mirror anywhere would have been nice, and the couch is terrible. Very awkward and uncomfortable. But overall a good stay

We loved the location in River North with shops around plenty of nice restaurants. Walkable and good buses around. Apartment was very nice, we were 5 adults. A bit noisy because of bar nearby ( it depends of your tolerance to noise. Some of us were disturbed some heard nothing). We enjoyed our stay !

Great central location. Clean and well appointed! It is quite loud at nearly all times from street noise, but I don’t think that the property has any control over that! Overall, great stay.
