The space is clean but be aware it is a "garden" apt meaning it's below the level of the street. For us, we just needed a place to lay our heads with our doggie in tow so it didn't bother us much. It's also in NW Chicago so if you appreciate more "downtown" amenities, the 90/94 hwy has a lot of traffic. Take advantage of the Blue line subway and Uber if you stay here. If you appreciate being closer to more off-the-beaten path venues, it's relatively close to many including Logan Square, the 606, Ukranian Village, Uptown. Also don't be deterred seeing it so close to the fwy. The traffic noise surprisingly doesn't travel. Slept like a baby on the nice bed. Great host, inexpensive and clean space, and across the street from a park to walk the doggie.
