The room was not very clean and there was a weird smell inside. The sanitary area and the kitchen are shabby. The neighborhood did not feel safe to me. Walking around there as a white woman was uncomfortable and there was a lot of cat-calling. The public transport in Chicago is not very reliable, so even though the accommodation is not too far from the center the transport takes a long time. The beach is 30 min walking distance away. I would not recommend this place for people who want to spend a nice vacation.
