Price and location were hard to beat. Chris' place is within walking distance to the blue line and there is a bus stop right across from the property. There were a few times where we'd miss the bus to the station and would just just go ahead and walk it with a 78 yo woman and 4.5 month baby, and twice with luggage for a family of 4/week-long trip. Also walking distance from a 7/11 convenience story and Wendy's. I walked to the Wendy's alone one night at about midnight as a 30 yo woman and felt very safe.
Keyless entry and did not have to wait to meet the first day, and Chris accommodated for us to leave our bags the last day since we had a late flight. Re the baby, I messaged Chris prior to my trip and he let me mail a travel bassinet to his house and he brought in the box for us before we arrived.
The kitchen is (almost) fully stocked for cooking. We didn't find any utensils, but we did pick up plasticware down the street at the 7/11.
I slept in the living room on the futon and it was very comfortable. It opens up to about a full size.
Only things some might consider drawbacks would be that it is a basement with low-ish clearance and there is a dog and small child upstairs that you can hear at times. My grandma is claustrophobic and had zero issues here. You'll likely get over it after the first few hrs. The bathroom and kitchen could also be cleaner, but that's what shower shoes and rinsing things before use is for. Be aware it is carpeted in case you are prone to allergies. None of these things were issues to me personally traveling with my baby.
Chris was always very quick to respond and very kind. Would absolutely consider staying here again should I ever find myself in Chicago again (which is very likely).
