I stayed at Joyce's place for a week with my family. It looks exactly as pictured in the listing and has some pretty cool artwork. It is located on a quiet one way street near a CTA train stop. I'd rented a minivan and was always able to park right in front of the house. It is close enough to major highways that travel into downtown was achievable in about 15 minutes at non-peak times. The price you pay for a whole house is comparable to downtown hotels but for the space and homey feel, it's worth the trek.
Joyce lives next door and makes herself readily available during your stay. She is very understanding and accomodating. She met me at checkin and gave me a run through of the property and house rules. She provides menus for food delivery and coupon codes for Uber. The kitchen has several essentials and a quick trip to the nearby fresh market or Walmart will allow you to stock up on food items and snacks. It is still a city location and not suburbia so you should always be aware of your surroundings but we were not fearful of the area and we had 3 kids with us.
The house is old but that's kinda what makes it charming (Exposed brick, wooden floors with character.)There is also some really cool artwork in the hall! The toilets seemed to lack flushing power though if that is important to you. Multiple flushes was our solution.
Overall, my family had a good stay at this property and would consider renting again.
