We enjoyed this gem for five days while visiting our daughter.
Pros: This is a spacious studio with a small kitchen nestled in Lincoln Park – a walkable, inviting neighborhood of Chicago. The hosts were invariably responsive and helpful, with seamless check-in/out. In terms of safety, you cannot go wrong with this place: the door code is changed between each visitor, there is plenty of street lighting, and there are bars on the windows. We never hesitated about leaving valuables in the studio. It is also clear that the hosts take coronavirus seriously: the entire studio was spotlessly clean and the linens were professionally laundered. Other perks: nice hot shower with a good supply of water; comfortable, deep bathtub, and great wi-fi/tv scene. Air conditioning works well.
Cons:
The main bed was soft and wobbly with a concave center. We could not sleep without waking up multiple times rolling towards the center. The first few days of our visit were a little rough because of the poor sleep. The last two days were much better because one of us slept on the sofa bed. I think if you are traveling alone and are ok with a soft mattress the bed should not be a problem. If you prefer a firmer mattress, consider trying the sofa bed. Neither bed is great for more than one person.
Also, the studio is below street level and has limited natural light with no view. For us, this limitation was worth having an affordable place in a superb location. Plus, there is great artificial light.
Overall, we would highly recommend this great value to people who are traveling solo and are ok with a soft bed. Sensitive sleepers or couples might not find the cost/bed tradeoff worth it.
