Pleasant well located but in needs of upgrades
The rental was honestly a bit more worn down/aged than it looked in the pictures (broken blinds, very old bathroom, plastic rugs in the living room falling apart into tiny bits, very creaky floors and noisy heating system, kitchen only has very basic equipment. ..). But I got to give it a positive review anyway: the apartment is truly spacious, luminous with many windows, comfy, and ideally located near all conveniences (stores, restaurants, etc) within short distance of beautiful Evanston, the lake, and Northwestern university. The neighborhood is super safe and quiet, with a big playground nearby for kids. We would probably stay there again if in town because it was a pleasant, if not luxurious or updated, place. Super easy access to Dempster st, which is a busy artery that takes you everywhere. I called the rental agency twice with small issues, and I was able to speak with someone in their concierge service both times. Both times they were friendly and responsive but both times they said they would call me back with a resolution and did not. One big downside for us as a family staying for 3 weeks: the listing said there was a possibility to get access to laundry in the basement during long stays: this turned out to be a big headache and in the end, not a real option; we were forced to use a laundromat instead, which was inconvenient. Parking is also easy but we could not always park in the driveway so had to hope for a spot on the street (was fine).
