What an experience. This was my first time in a shared space situation. We had our private rooms with a normal bedroom door lock. I thought it would be weird to share a bathroom and kitchen with strangers but it was nice to have a little small talk in the kitchen. Surprisingly everyone in the house was going to the same festival as us. The green room was on same floor as one of the full baths so that was nice. Ryan definitely took the time to decorate the house to have a vintage appeal, it was very beautiful. Ryan was very responsive when we had an issue with the mini fridge even though it was 9pm at night when I messaged him. The location was perfect. The train was around the corner as well as the bus. All the locals we passed as we walk to the bus stop were very nice and said hi. There was a group of locals with fold up chairs hang out, joking, and laughing with each other by the train station. I have been to Chicago lots of times and this was the first time I got to experience a neighborhood outside of downtown. It was great. Will definitely book again.
