Terrific location on Armitage. Greg is very friendly, a real laid back, nice guy and Lola the dog is friendly as well. She never came down to the basement where we stayed but was a bit "talkative" upstairs when Greg was gone, but not too bad. I think she missed him. You stay at Greg's for the location, the neighborhood and the price point; its not stylish and plenty of visual flaws here and there. It's not perfect - so don't expect that. Bed linens were clean. Our quarters were fine for me but not really for my wife. Expect to be an easy walk to Armitage and Halsted bars and restaurants and the "L" is only a block away. LPQ and Starbucks are two minutes away on foot. When hotel options were pushing $300; Greg's $149 which included fees worked for me.
