JayTee's place is great. It's a cute 3rd level apartment in a nice house that is very reminiscent of a Brooklyn Brownstone.
Check-In was easy, there was a lockbox and you go up all the way to the top of the stairs to get to the apartment. Reviews talk about the steep stairs, I mean..it's not that bad at all. I suppose if you have difficulties walking, it may be tough for you but we had zero issues at all.
Once inside, the place is nice and cool with the a/c units, and the two bedrooms are great. The beds are super soft and comfortable. We had three people, so we used both bedrooms and one of the pullout couches, and JayTee provided all towels, linens, etc that we needed!
The kitchen is full, and very spacious. You can cook meals, or get Uber Eats (as we did) delivered and eat in the kitchen and it's awesome.
The kitchen has a great coffee maker and there was some stuff left over that made it great, so I would check in first and see what you need to buy!
It's about a $15 Uber ride to downtown or McCormick, while we didn't take the subway we did ride Divvy bikes from downtown to the bike station about 4 blocks away. We just took Uber everywhere and it was great.
Reviews will talk about the area of town, yes the place is in south side Chicago, and when you are taking an Uber from the airport there, your drive may make stupid comments but the area of this house is not bad at all and we never felt unsafe. A mile away is hyde park which is a total upscale hip place, and this street that JayTee's house is on is great, safe, and really nice.
JayTee even checked on us, and her and her husband were so nice and sweet, we would recommend JayTee's place to anyone looking to stay for a cheap price in south Chicago. For the value, this place is an absolute no brainer place to stay.
