Ryan's place is a lovely old mansion - nice atmosphere and located near to the Kedzie station where you can get the green line to the loop/main areas to explore in Chicago. I also visited the Garfield Park conservatory, which I might not have done had I not been staying so near!
Nice tuck shop idea in a pantry area by the kitchen, snacks available for purchase, which I appreciated on arrival. I cooked one evening and enjoyed the complimentary coffee during my stay.
Very clear instructions and a nice room - also loved Chicago. Not as sociable as some other places I've stayed so if that's what you're after, would definitely recommend Ryan's place !
