I was in town for several interviews and needed a place convenient in location that wasn't too expensive. This place fit all requirements and ended up being a great stay.
Communication: Ryan provided clear instructions on arriving, and we had no problems with finding our room. We messaged a couple times with questions and received appropriately quick responses.
Room: Sooo comfortable, probably in the top 10 beds I've slept in. We had room with a pull out bed, which made the room a bit cramped, but if you're not planning on using the pull out it is comfortable size. Super clean. I will say that the house has somewhat dim lighting at night, which is common for older homes and more of a personal preference.
Bathrooms: Clean at all times, GREAT showers, and clean towels always available. There's also shower gel and shampoo dispensers. Although they are shared, I never had to wait too long, and even then there were always other options on other floors. Great decoration too.
Kitchen: Didn't really use, but other guests seem to take advantage of it, and we appreciated access to fridges and water filters.
Amenities: I was really surprised at the thoughtfulness throughout the home. There is access to a laundry room, refrigerators, steamer for clothing, printer, televisions that connect to Netflix and YouTube. I really felt like I was in a home.
Location: Several other guests have made mention of the location. I had no problems with safety whatsoever, even coming back late at night via public transportation. Is it in the shiny touristy parts of Chicago? No, but I think it's important to remember the vast diversity of the city, and it's also an opportunity to see local innovations like The Hatchery. The house is a beautiful old home, and I appreciated the chance to stay in a bit of history. The CTA Green line is about a five minute walk away, and it doesn't take too long to get to major tourist areas, especially when there's traffic and Lyft/Uber would take just as long.
Overall, wonderful stay and I would come again!
