This place in an excellent value to anyone wanting to explore beyond the Loop.
The price is very reasonable for the safe location and proximity to stores, a late night bar, and public transportation it offers. We took the train or bus everywhere and because of the location, everything we wanted to see was a very quick trip. The neighbors are even very friendly. Our first night there while trying to figure out parking, we had a random local help us out. So nice!
Greg was a fantastic host. Hospitable, kind, and helpful! He'll be social if you're an extroverted type, but he can also keep to himself if you're more private. All in all just a really cool guy!
As the description indicates, just don't go in expecting a DoubleTree or Grammy's Bed and Breakfast, and you'll be very pleased! We stayed 4 nights and it was so inexpensive and such a great experience! Save the money, submerge yourself off the beaten path, and live a little! We even booked a second trip later this month and are staying here again!
