The best thing about the Pilsen Launch Pad is that it is only two minutes away from the El train station.

Best = proximity.
Worst = noise.
But thankfully, Pete, the host, is honest about the train noise, which occurs regularly every 10-20 minutes or so. If you don't like noise, stay away; if it's ok with you, then the Launch Pad is ideal.
The flat is fine: that orange couch in the photo; nice pictures (no kitsch), comfy bed, clean bathroom (in fact the entire place is very clean, which we appreciated). And ear plugs.
Pete's description is accurate (also appreciated). The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I wouldn't know what 5 stars could be: a massage included and a bottle of champagne? (Isn't Lyft the same: if you give a driver only 4 starts they ask what was wrong.)
Would we stay there again? Definitely.
Many thanks, Pete.
