It's a shared apartment with five rooms and 2 bathrooms!!!! The location is great for Chicago. Nice neighborhood and the street parking was easy to find.
The house is older and the rooms are on the lower level. They have 5 rooms and 2 bathrooms with a small kitchen. The rooms are small but I think they are acceptable as you would only be there to sleep; only if you are not a light sleeper!!
This place is not for light sleepers. We had booked the place for 3 nights, but we only ended up staying there the first night. The walls between the rooms are very thin and the vent in the room was loud. They have quiet time between 10 pm to 8 am, but we could still hear people talking in the adjacent rooms and their TV until 1 am ( I don't think they were being loud, the people were just talking at a normal volume). The sound of people walking upstairs was very loud and we heard them multiple times a night even around 2 am and 5 am. We barely got any sleep at night and decided that we could not stay there any longer and left the next morning.
We contacted Airbnb and were contacted by one of the cohosts later. We didn't get any refund from the host themselves but Airbnb did refund us the portion of their fees. We got a message from the original host at the end of our reservation with the procedure to leave the place. We thought it was a little insensitive as they had no idea that we had already left after one day (unless it's an automatically generated message).
If you are a light sleeper this is not a place for you. One other thing I could suggest to the host is that maybe they can lay some carpet upstairs, so the sound of walking can be dampened.
