The Pros: Awesome location! Easy walking distance to great food and shopping, as well as the El. The space is really well kept, clean and quite large. Great kitchen space as well.
The Cons: The bed and rule situation was a little strange. The place must have been a daycare at one point because the beds downstairs are thin mattress pads rather than actual beds. Definitely not suitable for adults considering some of them are directly on the floor.
Regarding noise: We certainly understand that it’s important to be respectful of the downstairs neighbors. You can’t talk in the downstairs space after 10 pm for fear of waking the neighbors. Shoes have to be off at all times. Noise monitors alert the owner if things get too loud. A security camera counts the number of people going in and out and bills you more if your booking number and the number of people in the space don’t match.
Overall, the place/location/ease of checking in and out is great. But the rules made it tricky to be comfortable in the space, and the bed situation was not quite what we had expected.
