I was a long term guest, and I recommend staying here! The host is friendly and accommodating, there is plenty of public transportation nearby and some grocery stories with easy access. Upstairs neighbors can be loud at times and the laundry is only coin operated, but the neighborhood is very nice and the value is great. The apartment is about 50 minutes from downtown by CTA and 30 minutes from O'Hare by car. The apartment itself is cozy with good AC, plenty of space, a small balcony, and solid wifi. Overall if you're exploring the North side of Chicago or want a great value apartment I recommend staying here!
