If you wanna stay in the Chicago area and have no problem with your host being around you, this is the place to go! It was clean, and actually very cutely decorated. But, I felt very little privacy. The hosts room is right next to the room I was in, meaning she was always in and out. The bathroom was shared, so not just between the host and I, but also between other guests and I (which thankfully there was only one for maybe one night, of the seven nights I stayed). But the shared bathroom and lack of privacy dropped a star for me. It's not like Tippi was nosy, she was actually sweet. She only really talked when she had to instruct me to do something differently than I've been doing. But, I definitely didn't feel the privacy I'm used to at other airbnbs, where the host stays on an entirely different floor or in a different wing of the house. I hope this helps :) If you're single and just staying for a couple of nights, you'll enjoy it. It's safe and clean, and very quiet. Enjoy!
