This is a difficult review because I have stayed at many Airbnb’s but never at a hostel so I don’t have anything to compare this to.
First, the location was great (close to Wrigley Field) which is why we picked this place. Also close to boystown if you’re looking to visit that area.
Second, the room was very small for the four of us, each one having our own bunk bed but not much room for anything else.
The common areas were actually pretty cool including a deck to hang out on with a grill if one brings something to grill, and the community room with a pool table, darts, etc.
The instructions in the listing said to contact them the day before our arrival to arrange for parking so I did the morning before our arrival day but no one responded. I called the day of arrival and I was told I would be issued a parking pass upon arrival, which I was, and that allowed me to park in the residential areas of the neighborhood.
The staff was all very friendly but must have been quite busy as check in was very rushed and questions we had were answered with rushed answers.
The breakfast consisted of apples and bananas and pancakes and waffles plus tea and coffee.
Knowing what I know now, I would stay here again for the location but just be more prepared for a stay at a hostel. My traveling companions also said they would stay again.
