I had a great stay at Steven's!
It was very convenient to have a private bathroom and entrance in addition to the room, as this allowed me to operate on my own schedule. Both the bathroom and bedroom were very well-lit. Everything in the house was very clean and well-maintained, and I felt welcome from the minute I stepped in.
The room is on the third floor, so some traffic from the street can be heard, but it is not to the point that it will affect sleep unless you are extremely sensitive to noise. I personally had no problem falling asleep.
As a solo female traveler, I did feel a bit uncomfortable walking around in the neighborhood after dark, but I never felt actively threatened and I did not have any problems. As long as travelers stay alert and use common sense, they should be fine. Otherwise, the location is conveniently located near public transit and places to eat. There is a bus station across the street and a subway station about a block away, and the Wicker Park neighborhood has a wide variety of restaurants to choose from.
I enjoyed my stay, and I would definitely consider staying again!
