Really nice budget-friendly stay. Spacious and bright. Very close to several useful buses and about 7-10 min walk from the Pink Line train.
A few details: Mattresses and pillows are a bit on the hard side but not uncomfortable. You’ll receive a bath towel only (no washcloth). Bathrooms have the trash taken out daily. There is complimentary coffee (Keurig) and tea with sugar. There’s refrigerator access but it seems to fill quickly, so don’t count on storing much!
I found the neighborhood to be quiet and felt safe walking there alone at night. It’s about 30 min to the Art Institute/downtown/Millennium Park on transit, and in terms of walking, I found it to be about 30 min on foot to the things that interested me in Pilsen (such as denser areas with lots of coffee shops, restaurants, etc). There’s a gas station and some other supply/food shops very nearby if there’s anything you need.
I rarely saw the other guests but *heard* them constantly. Be advised that sound travels incredibly well in this apartment. The floors are quite creaky, as to be expected in an older building. If other guests aren’t respectful of the quiet hours or have to exit/enter their rooms frequently, you will hear them. If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs, and consider using headphones if listening to audio/watching video on a laptop because it can be very disruptive to the others staying there.
Overall, I’d stay again — it met my needs and felt the price met the quality of the experience.
