Definitely pros and cons to this stay: pros- great location, situated near the city and in a safe area. Cons- we stopped here on a cross country road trip it was vital to find garage parking or on site parking and there was a lot of miscommunication on this. We ended up parking in an open lot over night paying $50 each. Part of this parking shortage could have been our timing - there was a Cubs game and music festival going on during this time. However I thought we had settled on a garage but it turned out that these garages were private and we had no way to park in them. Very disappointing :(. We also came on a night where other guests were sharing the space—no problem but we were only given about an hours notice that there was a party there till 10pm. The guests were very nice and respectful however the short notice from the host was unfortunate. Lastly, be warned that the bathroom has an antique shower that is not well kept. Shower curtains and shower head clearly have not been cleaned in a long time and were moldy. Understandably the house is old and definitely loved but we were sadly disappointed with our stay :( would only come back if we were just visiting and could shower at a friends place.
