Jose and April's place was totally worth the price. My room was in the basement, which meant that I got the entire basement to myself. I had my own bathroom (without shower through, that is shared on the 1st floor), my own TV and they had a treadmill and other exercise equipment there for guests to use. The room itself was very spacious and clean, and the bed was really comfy. Sound does travel from the upper level, but overall I felt like I had an entire house to myself for the price of 1 room! The location was perfect for me, very safe neighborhood and about 5 minutes away from the Pink "L" train that goes straight to the Loop. Jose was very accommodating, letting me store my bags before check in so I could spend more time exploring the city. He also gave me a tour of the place and was there the whole time to answer any questions. His cats are also there, but are super friendly and love to rub against your legs. Overall, great stay!
