I hated living in Chicago but I was lucky to find this place for while I was there. Yes, the management is rude but that's apparently normal in that city, in any industry. I generally didn't have any problems with them as far as maintenance and they even let me out of my lease a little early.
The building itself has gorgeous wood floors and it's a really solid old building. I was on the top floor in the corner, had a pretty view and very little noise. Neighbors were pretty friendly and there were often small parties on the roof in the summer months. The laundry room was a ripoff and their "fitness center" was seriously a joke. Don't expect to find much street parking for the next few blocks. The train is REALLY far away but the Lake Shore Drive express buses stop right at the corner.
If I ever had to move back to Chicago I'd probably stick to this area.
Hope this helps.
