For the price I paid, this was a wonderful base to explore Wicker Park. I am tall enough to have been a bit inconvenienced by the unusually-low ceiling, and there were a few difficulties with kitchen implements and the room heater... but the space was cozy and clean and as brightly lit as advertised. This is not a good space to cook a meal, but it's a GREAT place to watch a movie or work a morning from "home" or check out the insane variety of wonderful places this piece of Chicago has to offer. (And people who complained about the bed are way wrong.) Paul was extremely helpful in navigating the various difficulties I experienced -- very communicative and detailed in his assistance and prep. If you're looking for a budget stay in Wicker Park, this is hard to beat.
