We were visiting UIC and the location was great for that. There is a coffee shop just around the corner as well as restaurants and shops down Taylor St. Felt safe walking during day or night near the house. The host provides parking passes for free parking on the street. Location good, 10 to 15 min drive to downtown. The house was quiet and private with comfortable beds. There were no extra towels or blankets and no TV. Check in was a breeze. We would stay again.
