From our 10 nights experience: let say this, I don't know how and where all the good reviews come from.
The electricity went down during our first night. Took 30min to contact the host to solve the problem. It was because we weren't suppose to plug in too many electronics at once like WHAT! All we had were 2 laptops and phones charging, the heater in the bedroom, the microwave and fridge that were already plugged in when we checked in. So everytime we need to charge our laptops or phones, we had to unplugged the fridge and microwave. Also, when we turn on the heater, the lights dim.
The wifi is slow, slower than 4G. Couldn't even load a360 graphic YouTube videos/ netflix movies. You won't even get to use the wifi in the bedroom because theres no signal/weak. We had to move to the living room for just a slightly better wifi signal, still slow though.
The bathroom, first of all the water in sink takes forever to go down. After we brushed our teeth, the water is still not down and we had to go to the bath tube to wash our faces. The water drains down slow in the bathtub too. The shower head's water pressure is low which lead to very little water coming out if u were to use it. The bathtub is narrow so we kept knocking down the body washes and shampoo on the side.
The hallway ceiling is narrowed and slanted so if you are taller, you will get hurt.
The entrance, although the picture shows the front view of the house, you actually enters from a narrowed, bumpy and dark hall to the side of the house, make sure to turn on ur phone's flashlight when you return back at night or you will trip like me once. When you enter the first door, It's tight as hell before you get up to the staircase. Before the staircase, you have to open another door which one side is locked so you to slip in from the one side that you open with the keys to unlock the other side. I could hardly fit in and I'm not that big size of a person ( less than 150 pounds)
I don't recommend for long term stays ( 3 days +). I rather pay a few extra dollars per night for a better place to actually enjoy chicago.
The only good thing is that the host let us check in early.
