The house is very cool, and has an older feel, reminding me of my grandmother's old brownstone house. Ryan was very easy to communicate with and always was prompt with his replies to my questions. There are also instructions regarding the house as well as several informational packets at the welcome table in the foyer near the entrance. The surrounding neighborhood is a bit run down but the house is less than 10 minutes from a train station into downtown Chicago.
The room was as advertised. It was clean, with a tv and Netflix access (however I never turned on the TV not tried to access Netflix). There is only one shower in the listing (third floor) so sometimes you might have to wait if you go at a busy time (breakfast time in the morning or 9pm at night).
There is a kitchen which I used to cook breakfast in the morning and a pantry full of goodies and snacks that can be purchased.
The house was a great place to return to after spending all day and part of the night in downtown Chicago.
