Great big historical house. Stepping inside transports you into a vintage sanctuary. Very lived in and unique, lots of interesting touches and style. Huge kitchen that is generally kept very clean. Lots of coffee pods generously available with coffee machine. Great place for writers and researchers as it was usually very quiet. The surrounding area is developing economically, but I didn't experience much in the way of any harassment, and would take the nearby kedzie green line to and from the loop during early evening often.
