First the bad:
* the sink water pressure was terrible but shower was good. We would fill a bowl to brush teeth or wash dishes.
* the window A/C units were really loud
This was due to the house being historic - I think it was first built in the early 1800's.
The good:
* It's location is fantastic: near the best beach in Chicago, near the L, near a lot of great restaurants/shopping and an enjoyable 1 mile walk to downtown.
* The hosts are great and very responsive to requests.
* It has a nice front patio to sit at to watch the world and enjoy the weather.
