It's an excellent choice for anyone who studies or works at U of I or nearby. Don't even need a car because 5 buslines service our block. American grocery store 3 blocks away. Asian grocery store across the street. Middle Eastern and East European grocery store 3 blocks away. UI campus two blocks away. Select cool parts of big city life but no traffic! Landlord is a genuine person, no hype. That in itself is rare. He works with us and also expects us to work with him. Fixes things promptly. There is no commercialized atmosphere imbuing the space. It is just a place where you can live and feel at home. You always expect that, but often you can't get it in this town.

First of all, the landlord has been known to advertise this place as "pretty good apartments". They are pretty good. They are very comfortable, very quiet, well-made and well-taken care of. The landlord does not consider them luxury apartments and certainly doesn't charge luxury prices. Most of the people who have seen mine come in and say "Gosh, this is really nice!" They're right, it really is!
