It's an old house, so take into account that it will have character and quirks. The neighbourhood was on the sketchier side but there were never any problems. The house itself was fantastic, easy to get to from the metro- my bad, the "CTA" (it's a metro). Very spacious, comfy bed, all amenities provided, clean, and the host when we did get to see him was very kind and easy to talk to! It was a great place to stay.
