Paul was a great host! Him and his roommate were easy going and gave me some great tips.
The kitchen/living room area is stunningly decorated. The bedroom is also tasteful and spacious with a great mattress.
I was concerned the house might be too far from downtown Chicago, but I found the location extremely easy, with a Divvy bike rack and the 606 trail right next to the house which got me to and from the city in 30 minutes.
Bonus: Damn Fine Coffee Bar is a short walk away and has Raspberry Cold Brew that is to die for.
Con: The house is big and echoey so noise travels from the living room to the bedroom.
