Kenneth was a fantastic and attentive host. He gave great recommendations for nearby food and drink, and even provided some food and drink of his own (namely, bagels and Gatorade--very much appreciated).
Of course, the major draw is the house itself which is literally a work of art, filled with art. Be advised, some of the art is... unusual (most notably the electric chair prop with a doll resembling--though it's not exactly--a voodoo doll), but I imagine most folks looking to stay here know that coming in :) And the eccentricity, for me, was a huge part of the appeal.
Kenneth has a note in the description about the volume of the street. I did not personally find this to be a problem. Granted, I live in New York, but I found my stay to be very quiet, at least in the room with the queen size bed which is further from the street.
There is not a ton going on in this particular neighborhood, which is slightly south of the Chicago Loop, but it's a 10 minute cab ride from Grant Park and a 15-20 minute ride from the hip Wicker Park area (which is further north).
Overall, strongly recommended for the adventurous at heart looking for a unique and enjoyable place to stay.
