The Flower Power was an excellent place to stay for a few nights, and made our trip to Chicago very affordable. The train station is a block away, and the ride to downtown is pretty short. The room has everything you need (sheets, towels, pillows, comforter), and the bathroom is very well stocked (soap, body wash, shampoo, toothbrushes, even feminine care products and a hair dryer). The towels were soooo soft - the little things in life can make one very happy. We didn't see the host at all but instructions for getting our keys and checking out were crystal clear so we didn't have any problems. Wifi was reliable and fast, and the place was super clean. The only thing that I'd say people should be aware of is that it's an older building and the walls are pretty thin. So, when people (in the apartment or in the one above) are taking a shower or flushing the toilet, it can be quite noisy. Overall, for the location, the price, and the amenities provided, this place is fantastic. Thank you for hosting us.
