The place is not in good repair. Yes, it’s the cheapest thing in town, and I genuinely respect the hustle, so I’m not mad, but damn, getting $200+ out of that property for 3 days is robbery. That window beside the dining table is unacceptable. There were no blinds, a missing pane of glass, duct tape — so it’s very cold and drafty in that area, which is sadly where I had to sit and work for my entire stay. That window also looks out on a Loyola U building that’s lit up and occupied seemingly all night, so without blinds, there’s no privacy. But other than that, I guess this place was within the ballpark of what I expected. It felt (relatively) clean, (relatively) safe, and (relatively) quiet, so if money is the most important thing and your standards are low, it’s still worth considering. The appliances worked and the water ran nicely.
