Everything the host says about the place is true. Its near the south side of Chicago so you'll be seeing a whole lot of reality, but you won't feel unsafe staying here. The apartment itself is very clean and feels very homely, and the host provided brand new towels and sheets, and complimentary coffee and chips. There's plenty of stores within a 2 mile radius if you need anything, but an uber to the downtown can run you $20 minimum, and $30 minimum for the airport. So plan around taking the train around the city, it's very affordable. We felt like this place was an amazing value for the Lollapalooza weekend, you can easily sleep a party of 5 in the apartment comfortably. (2 couches, 1 twin bed, 1 queen) Just don't book this place if you expect to be provided anything more than a comfy apartment.
