We had a great time at Ryan's place in the Celestial guest room! The room itself was spacious, very clean, and had a star projector that was cool to play with! The architecture of the hour itself was gorgeous - each room had a lot of character, and it was fun to peek around. There is a minibar in the pantry of the kitchen for those late-night cravings and/or essentials someone might forget. Check-in and check-out was very easy, and Ryan was very helpful with answering any questions we had. It was great being close to 2 different train stops as well as a few bus stops, making it easy to get around. Overall, I thought Ryan's place was wonderful and would stay here again! It was great to be able to do all the touristy things in Chicago, but also come back here and get away from the downtown area.

The neighborhood has police patrolling the area at night in cruisers. Our first night there, when we were waiting for a bus, police stopped us to tell us that the neighborhood was dangerous, and we shouldn't be wandering around in this area at night. With that said, we did not come across any trouble in the area during our 3-night stay, and as Ryan mentions in the description, the property requires someone to be comfortable with a neighborhood that's a little rough around the edges. We did take a Lyft back to the house when we were coming back at night, but made use of the CTA (the views from the elevated train are great!) and buses during the daytime.
