According to my Uber drivers, the location was not the safest although it wasn't the worst. My friend and I found out when we checked in that this place was located literally right next to a homeless shelter. However, we've never felt/ experienced any type of threat or uncomfort during our whole stay. If the weather permits, you can walk to the nearest CTA station in approximately 15 minutes. Even if you decide to take Uber to downtown, it's cheap.
The host was very accommodating and let us check in a few hours earlier. Check in and out procedure was easy and fast. I got a response back quickly every time I contacted the host and they checked on us on the first night if everything was good.
A few of the reasons why I chose this place were for their proximity/ easy access to downtown (no need to transfer multiple times if you use the public transportation) and the price. My stay met my expectations and I'd stay here again if I come back to visit again.
