8/10 Very good
This would be great for both short or long-term stays. Excellent location: near CTA station, several food markets (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Aldi in the same building), and great restaurants; both the river and the lake are within walking distance. As a highlight, the bedroom has a white-noise machine to help block out the city noise, which is minimal with the windows closed, and plenty of space for clothes if you were staying long-term. The apartment has a washer/dryer, the kitchen has all the essentials (but not all of the outlets worked), and there is a great view and balcony. The building has an excellent fitness center with machines, free weights, cardio, and space; there is also a library that would be a great place to work or study. The elevators require a key fob and a little patience at times; the bathroom shower curtain was too long (requiring care not to slip), and the bathroom vent was covered in thick lint, but the rest was very clean and the water pressure was excellent.
