Ryan was a great host . I didn’t meet him but he answered my messages promptly. His directions were very detailed. The house was cool and only about 20 minutes from downtown. The area is a bit sketchy but nothing I wasn’t used to. The house is gated and there are multiple cameras. I felt safe. The basement has a nice decor. I liked that he has a pantry with snacks that you can purchase. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Chicago.
