When this listing says “by the train tracks” it MEANS THE TRACKS ARE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW . Hard to sleep through the first night but second night was a tad bit easier. The area of this place was close to the cta so traveling is easy. Food places are also nearby. Its also a tab bit small the bathroom door is at my knees on the toilet and im 5 ft tall . The bed isn’t a futon in the picture its a full sized bed. Also the building on the outside was remodeled. Other than that the stay was good for a short weekend trip.
