Concerts in Chicago - Tyler and Nas
Property is well maintained. Plenty of beds. Needs more seating. Only one couch for a apartment that sleeps seven or more. No outdoor space. Nice place to stay.

First thing we had an issue with gaining access to the building due to weather conditions and the key boxes being out in the elements. Once we gained entry, there were some issues with things in the unit but overall the unit was aesthetically pleasing to be in. Outside of the weather affecting our stay, we still enjoyed our stay and the experience. This was not our first ABB experience and it will not be our last. I would recommend this place to others. It had enough sleeping spaces for up to 9 adults comfortably. Downside, only one bathroom and not enough adequate seating for more than 6 adults.
