Moved us from a two bedroom, plus loft, two floor apartment--the top apt. in a 4th floor walk up--to a 3 floor house. both locations were in chicago and close together. these guys were the best movers we've ever used. our apt. was really tricky, with many levels and a narrow spiral staircase. the movers worked efficiently and quietly. they didn't balk at taking stuff we didn't want to bring down to the alley (including a bookshelf made of bricks!) we had had other movers help us move into the apt, and they had a difficult time navigating the space, but these guys seemed to know exactly what to do. they gave us a rough estimate of the time needed and came in hours under that. the whole move start to finish only took 5 and 1/2 hours. nothing was broken. they took great care to wrap furniture well and were careful at the new place putting things down exactly where we wanted it. also put down moving pads so as not to dirty the floors when they walked in. office staff was great too.
