If you are a solo or adventurous budget traveler - this is for you! You are one block from the beach, a block from the red line, a few steps away from the bus line to downtown, and just a short walk from cafes, bars, restaurants, and entertainment. Brian has thought of everything! I was traveling alone and felt very safe and secure. I spilled coffee all over my clothes and blanket on the train ride to Chicago and having the washer/dryer was a huge and appreciated perk. Although you are sharing space with strangers - it was very quiet and I rarely ran into people. The house is clean, well-stocked and the breakfast was a great and quick start to my day. I hope to stay again.
