I didn’t meet Lemna in person but her communication before and during the stay was beyond reproach. Lemna was especially courteous and asked me first before accessing the space to use the laundry.
While the listing was for a private room, it feels more like somewhere between a private room and an entire place as you have dedicated use of a bedroom, living room and private bathroom.
As others have mentioned, there is no door separating upstairs vs downstairs, but I consider that normal for a Private Room listing. The
listing did mention that the bedroom door could be locked, but this doesn’t appear to be the case, however since the space was reasonably private it didn’t cause me any significant concern.
Overall I was impressed with the experience and would recommend Lemna’s place to friends that are looking for a clean, comfortable and well-located place to stay in Chicago.
