Great space and prime location to explore Chicago (very convenient access to the Brown line and cta buses). The neighborhood is safe and food options/groceries around the neighborhood are also fantastic. Greg is a great host and quick to communicate with.
Pros:
This listing is a big bang for your buck and high value. You basically get a whole basement to yourself. The room I stayed in had a nice comfy bed, couch and ample space. AC functions well and there’s a big fan if needed. Bathroom is very clean and stocked with any essentials you may need. Cleaning supplies in the hall are also nice to have on hand. The access to the laundry room is clutch if you’re staying for a longer time.
Cons:
Only con I would say is that there’s no kitchen if you plan to cook. A microwave is provided, but you’ll likely be eating out anyway. I think the place could’ve been a little cleaner in general. No red flags or anything that strikes as a health concern, but you may see a few spider webs (it’s a basement after all).
All in all, I highly recommend anyone to stay here. If you’re planning to be out and about for the majority of your visit, this is the perfect spot and budget-friendly. Would definitely consider staying here again and would easily choose this over a hotel.
