You can’t argue the value for money you’re getting at this place and if you don’t have high expectations, this place will do for spending a reasonable weekend in Chicago. Connection to downtown is easy via the blue line CTA, however it should be noted that the area is a bit sketchy and not the best part of Chicago. To be fair however, I felt pretty safe at least on my ways to the CTA station.
The place itself is very basic, but overall clean and the bed was comfortable. It is essentially an apartment where bathroom is shared with several other guests, staying in separate rooms. The host’s communication was swift, kind and helpful.
What marred the stay for me was the fact that somebody broke into my suitcase (basically damaging it irrevocably) on the last day in the living room, where I left it upon advice from the host till my departure in the evening. I therefore cannot recommend leaving anything of value at this place whenever you hit the town. Apart from kind consolation, there was unfortunately no help offered by the host.
