TL;DR: DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. This house has an amazing value and many amenities you won’t find in other place. It’s neighborhood has bad fame but it’s all residential houses with great people. If you’re planning to visit Chicago many days, this house is great.
Long review: I went with my girlfriend and the Lyft that drove us from the subway station told us that this neighborhood wasn’t safe and also some other racist comments. We were afraid but as days passed we realized that it wasn’t true. It’s safe and pretty nice. Of course the main attraction is the city, but you can also find things to do near like the Conservatory or attend to a Bulls game in the United Center. It’s two blocks from the green line, which will let you travel wherever you want, and we’ve used in both day and night and found no troubles with it. Free coffee and TV made this place really comfy. There was just one thing that we didn’t like (and host specifies this beforehand) and that is rooms don’t have keys or passwords. They are open for anyone to enter. You can lock it from the inside but it would be better if we could have a key to lock it. Overall, good place and location, beautiful city and great host. Recommending it definitely.
