Carin's private basement room is larger than any hotel room and with a private entrance it's feels like an apartment. The room is tastefully appointed, the WiFi is lightening fast, and street parking is easy (which is unusual in Lincoln Park).
Because it is a basement unit, it can be a bit noisy. The windows are at street level and you can occasionally hear the guests upstairs. Unfortunately I had a significant allergic reaction to something in the unit, which made my stay uncomfortable. Since childhood I've been very allergic to cat dander and that's what the reaction felt like, but Carin assured me she has no pets. If you're allergen sensitive,this may not be the place for you.
