A great location in the heart of Lincoln Park (perfect for my needs given meetings at the adjacent zoo) but also close to convenient and fast bus stops and plenty of food options.
Dany was communicative prior to the stay and was present throughout offering nice touches (such as cups of coffee and a lovely chicken soup). The room is small but perfectly fine and warm even in the cold winter weather with a comfortable bed. The bathroom is shared but also fine and the water hot for a good shower.
Whilst some of the instructions (which are for visitor safety and enjoyment) sound a bit anal and over the top it was much more welcoming in person than seemed when reading all the rules and regulations (Dany was perfectly happy for guests to use the kitchen / work on the kitchen table etc.).
Definitely recommended for single travelers wanting to stay in this nice and safe area of Chicago.
