Overall I had a good stay! I came for work so this was mainly to have a better commute to my work and a crash pad, and not be at a hotel. Of course winter in Jan/Feb in Chicago is not ideal in any sense, esp after two big snows. This made parking challenging, as this is street parking so if you are coming and going later than normal commuting hours, and come home say after 5-6pm, plan that you may be parking farther away. You do also have access to laundry facilities which is shared by an adjacent door to their basement area. The hosts are very responsive to needs you may have and it was very quiet, the bed was comfy and I'd recommend for some city living exposure, with easy walking to fun spots...when of course they open back up again. :)
