We had a great time at Alice's and Tony's place. It's a newly renovated apartment in an upcoming neighborhood in Chicago. We stayed with 5 people, so most of us had a room to ourselves. I think it would be suitable also for larger groups, but then better if couples could share the smaller beds. Beds were very comfortable and there are two large common areas for everybody to hang out. Two toilets and one shower, which worked well for our group. The air-conditioning is quite loud when on, but cools well during the day so you don't really need it at night (in August). We felt very safe in the neighborhood also at night, neighbors always greeted us friendly and there are some very nice small restaurants in the area. It's a 4 min. walk to the Pink Line Metro, which takes you downtown in 20 min. and runs very regularly. It was nice to stay a bit further outside of Chicago to experience the local atmosphere, but still be able to get to the city center quickly and easily. Both Alice and Tony were very helpful and responded immediately to our questions and Tony gave us some good tips for the neighborhood and some background stories, which was great. We would definitely stay here again, great value for money, especially for Chicago!
