I would absolutely recommend staying here! If you like being surrounded by fantastic food, culture and a quick walk to the nearest L stop. It’s also quieter than other parts of the city. Just remember, you are in Chicago, so you can’t expect silence.
I will say that check in was a bit confusing. There are several doors into the building, most locked. Look for the door on the Wentworth st side. I think there is a small handwritten sign on a metal door but it doesn’t say anything about BNB- that’s the right door. You will open it and go up the first flight of stairs and knock on door to your right and you will be shown to your room. After that, everything was very easy. Clean room and bathroom shared w others on floor and a sweet common area in the hall. Kitchen w fridge, some bowls and a microwave we used to store and heat up leftovers.
There are two nearby parking lots. We used the one closer to L station. It’s $16 for 24 hours. Not knowing what would happen if left for over 24 hours, we just moved the car once per day- pulled out, payed the fee, and then pulled back in. It’s really a decent price to park in comparison to other parts of city. It is a couple block walk so try to pack light, or if you have multiple people with you have one stay w car on side street while you unload into BNB.
We also want to recommend the nearby MCCB restaurant. Delicious, multiple Michelin star Szechuan and Cantonese for around $15 for a meal at dinner time.
Thanks Zhi!
