Have to say that the 5 stars for this location was based mostly in part to Kam's hosting.
Communication in advance and the day of the visit were great. We easily found our way from Union Station to the blue line subway and after a brief trip were a 4-5 minute walk to the house. Access was easy and we found the place clean and fashionable. There is an upstairs to the house that we could hear someone moving around in. There is some noise from the elevated train nearby. We didn't find it overly objectionable other than thinking it was down pouring outside a few times. There are two bedrooms on the main level and at least one downstairs. The kitchen is furnished with a stove and refrigerator. The bathroom on the main level is small but very manageable. Many updates through-out the house. We did notice that the floors squeaked as others mentioned. It might be an issue for light sleepers but we weren't overly bothered by it. We did find out that there is no cable TV. There is one television in the main common living area. Kam was kind enough to lend us his Netflix login so we could watch a bit of TV at night before bed.
There are numerous restaurants and bars within walking distance in the Bucktown and Wicker Park neighborhoods. We used Uber and the blueline subway to get around town. If you're looking for an awesome host definitely go with Kam. At this address 2427 W. McLean you'll find a conveniently located, clean yet slightly squeaky place to stay.
