The location was excellent; it was a 5 minute walking distance to the chinatown red line station. There were also plenty of good restaurants within walking the distance. The room was exactly as advertised. If you just need to use the room to sleep--and spend most of your time outside--then it's good enough. the apartment area is sufficiently clean. The hot water however only worked in one bathroom and there was persistent banging on the kitchen door when the wind blows pretty hard (which almost always happens in Chicago). There was also a pretty strong cooking smell around dinner time but went away by 10 or something. Overall, good place for a short stay.
