Was a good stay for the price of the listing! The hosts were very attentive and straightforward which I appreciated.
Some notes:
It is a bus transfer away from the nearest station so be aware of that when booking and make sure to look into the metro information before you go! We did not and we thought we had to walk into town our first day bc we didn’t realize you could use Apple Pay on the bus! 🤦🏼‍♀️
I will say, make sure you have your phone flashlight handy if you are coming back late at night. The only lights in the stairwell before your room are the main lights for the whole floor that the room is on. We felt awkward turning it on late at night so we just felt our way through the dark. I had left my phone in my bag and didn’t have it on me so I didn’t have a light one time. After that one night, we came back earlier though, so it wasn’t an issue again.
The only “issue” we had, which we expected from another review we read before booking so not that big of a deal, was the people walking above you in the kitchen if you like to sleep in past 8! It’s an older house though, so it’s to be expected and neither of us cared that much but if that sorta thing bothers you maybe look at booking another room in their house! I will say the private bathroom was so nice though!
We definitely would consider booking again if we are in Chicago again for a weekend.
