Very secure bedroom/home and a short walk to Uchicago. Nice for professionals and graduate students. Room was relatively clean. There are a few holes/cracks in the floor panels and in the walls of the closet. Owner was good at communicating for check in and was quick to help cover the holes at my request!
I only had one problem with this stay: There are only 2 bathrooms in the house and when 1 of them had a leak and had to be completely remodeled. Unfortunately, the owner failed to communicate that to anyone in the house and just gutted the bathroom and started the renovations. The next day, I had to message and ask him about having 5 people share 1 bathroom. He told me it was out of his control and that I could end my stay if I wanted to and he would refund me some money. In agreeing to end my stay, he also made me be the one to contact air bnb support to get my money back even though it was due to his problem with the bathroom. It wasn’t a terrible part of the stay but I feel like as a house owner he should have been upfront and honest about the renovations and be more willing and proactive in changing the reservations.
Outside of this - the people in this house are great and it’s definitely worth the stay!
