Stayed here for three months while attempting to sort my life out, and I definitely made a good choice. There are multiple people who live here permanently, but you'd never know it because they were never home. Even though I was only renting the room, I pretty much had the run of the house most of the time. Very quiet. I only met the host in person once or twice, but whenever I asked him a question on the app, he always replied within the hour. Comfy bed, hot shower, unlimited access to the kitchen (although you do sometimes have to coordinate with other people for its use). Wifi went out a few times, but restarting the router on top of the fridge always did the trick. The only downside (and the reason I ended up leaving) was the location. In order to get most places, including the subway, you have to hop on a bus that only runs once every 25 minutes at most (which, for Chicago, is excruciatingly long). There is also no laundry on site, so you need to voyage out to a laundromat. Other than that, no complaints. Began to feel like home after a while. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
