This is a great place to stay for someone who wants the Chicago neighborhood experience. There are lots of conveniences provided by the location. We walked to breakfast at Bang Bang Pie Shop. We found a good bike shop on Armitage. And the grocery store close by has some great food. Parking was a dream...very rare in Chicago. We always found a space on the street.
The beds are comfortable and the shower is very relaxing. It was easy to make the temperature comfortable by opening windows, the extra blankets, ceiling fans and an easily adjusted thermostat. The pictures are truthful and accurate. It's more spacious than a photo can convey.
The kitchen is set up for very minimal cooking. I recommend planning to eat out or take advantage of delivery options.
Noise level was pretty quiet. We never had trouble sleeping. You can hear people and dogs upstairs, but it's typical of shared floors/walls living. It's not too far from major thoroughfares where police and ambulance sirens are heard often..
Nate and Jess were extremely kind and quickly responsive to our needs.
