This is a fantastic place to stay at, and Pete is a great host. I was a little sad to be moving on, and would definitely stay again given the opportunity.
The apartment is easy to find, and easy to check in. It's very clean and well set up, with everything you need to be comfortable. It's super close to the pink line train, so it’s really easy to get into the city. I was attending a conference at McCormick Place, and that was easy to get to by car.
The neighbourhood is really nice. I arrived late at night and the area looked a little intimidating, but in the morning I got to see the real character of it. Pilsen feels really comfortable, even as a stranger - lots of families just going about their day, and local shops and restaurants. It’s a nice walk to 18th for a wide range of stores and restaurants.
As the listing says, yes, the apartment is close to the train line and, yes, the train is loud. It didn't disturb my sleeping though, and I got used to it fairly quickly.
