Location was great. Neighborhood felt pretty safe and was quiet after dark. Looked a little rough on the outside and the entrance was a bit run down but the actual living quarters were very nice. House is a 10 minute walk to the Ashland station where you can take the orange line downtown. My GF and I really only used the house as a home base to sleep and shower because we spent the entire day practically from sunrise to sundown exploring the city. If you only need a place like that, this is the one. If you wanted to stay in, there is a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator to cook and there's a liquor store/beer distributor down the street. Keep in mind you may have to share it with another guest or two. As for other guests, we had no issues. We were gone most of the day and at night our neighbors didn't make much noise. Host is responsive for your needs. We needed towels and they brought us extra within 20 minutes. Overall, if you just need a place to spend the night while you explore Chicago, this place is a bang for your buck.
