Better than a hotel

I was planning to stay at a hotel for my work trip, but most places were booked full or very expensive. I found this place and decided to book. I could not have been happier and will absolutely rebook for future stays. It was extremely walkable to downtown, had many restaurants near by, yoga near by, and the fridge was even stocked with breakfast items upon my arrival which was the best suprise. Laundry in-unit with all the needed detergents. Check in was a breeze and the front desk knew to expect me. I was given two fobs to access the building and never had issues with access. Extremely clean, spacious, and exactly as the pictures appeared. Communication was exceptional - seriously cannot say enough positive things. I've already referred this listing to a few of my other friends who travel down to Chicago frequently for work.
