Overall strong recommend about Brian’s house if you thinking about staying that neighborhood.
1/ Transportation: since I’m doing campus visit in Chicago, dint got to downtown, not sure about that part. But for me, quite convenient to take the subway to either the school and the airport. And there is beach and nice lake view near the house, 2mins walk
2/ 2.5 bathroom in the house to share, clean and accessible at any hour. Don’t need to wait for others use.
3/ the best part is the house provide self serve Laundry and breakfast, with yogurt and many other options. Really out of my expectation.
4/ My room is small but clean and most important quite...
For that price, I would say the staying is value for money..
