The room itself was cozy, charming, and looked very much like like it is pictured in the listing. Ryan was nice and available throughout our stay. The house, though not located in the most attractive of neighborhoods, is a bus ride or an inexpensive uber drive away from downtown Chicago. Though most of the community spaces were well kept, the sharing of one full bathroom between atleast 5 people turned out to a bit problematic for me. Very remiscent of dormitory showering, the trashcan in the full bath was always overflowing and I had to use the scrubbing bubbles cleaning solution located on the desk outside of the bathroom, to clean the sink myself. Also without warning, the water was cut off in the middle of my shower. I spoke with Ryan who explained that a plumber was working on a valve and that the water would be back on shorly. The water was back on within 15 minutes, but without prior notification that our water supply would be off and limited availability to the full bathroom, this hiccup proved to be annoyingly inconvenient. The 1/2 bathroom located on the first floor didn't have any handsoap for our entire stay, and though hand sanitizer was provided I still felt it was a bit gross. The kitchen was renovated and nice, though for the number of guests staying, there wasn't adequate refrigerator space. Cool pool table and sitting area in the living room. Very nice and considerate guests. Brick structure of the home was beautiful. Overall I think he good outweighed the gross and if you're looking for an inexpensive and convenient place to stay in Chicago this is a cool option.
