We had a wonderful stay here this week! Very easy to navigate the entirety of Chicago with public transportation from this location. Definitely a quieter part of Chicago than the downtown area. My boyfriend did have a unpleasant encounter at the nearby bus station with a man who was definitely under the influence of a substance. This is just situational and should be kept in mind when thinking about the area!
We had no problem with music during our stay. I will say that I did not realize that there was a shared living area until my stay, but it was not a problem at all. I could hear talking, TV, etc from other guests at times though.
The place was well kept and cleaned, and Nala and Owen did a great job communicating with me! Would visit again!
