This was a great place to stay while I was in the Chicago area. Nick gave very detailed instructions and pictures for check in, but when I arrived it was dark so I had trouble working the gate. In the daylight it was very obvious how it works! The space was perfect for my needs, and the privacy was appreciated. It was nice to have access to a refrigerator near the room. I rented a car and was usually able to find a spot near the house. Free parking on the street. But if you don't have a car you won't have any trouble getting around. There is a train stop about a 10 minute walk from the house. Plus, Uber and Lyft are plentiful. There are plenty of travel guides in the room for navigating and sightseeing around the city. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was large and had good water pressure. Keep in mind that the host and his wife and dogs live in the house above the room, so you may hear some noise. They do provide ear plugs along with lots of toiletries. Overall a great place to stay in Chicago!
