The positives: the house is gorgeous, and very clean. Easy walk to the Pink Line, and a 24 hour Walgreens just a few blocks away. The room I stayed in was very spacious. Lots of useful items provided right in the room: some toiletries, bottled water, even instant mac and cheese!
The negatives: the host, Zandra, sent multiple messages and gave verbal warnings about the rules and small things like flushing the toilet and not slamming the gate, but could not be bothered to inform me that the bathroom would be under renovation for part of my stay. She let me use her personal shower, but I would have preferred being told in advance so I could have planned around it, and not have had to rely on the presence of the host to get ready in the morning.
It was also alarming that the lights in the hallways were always off at night. I was in a strange house with no knowledge of the light switch locations and my room was down a staircase. I had to use my phone flashlight when I came back after dark.
There is no way to lock the bedroom door when you are not in the room. There are multiple other guests in the house and I could not secure my belongings.
Speaking of the other guests, Zandra told a male guest what I was there for and where I would be all day. I am a woman traveling alone and I did not appreciate my whereabouts being discussed without my knowledge or approval.
This was far from a restful stay. The price was excellent for a festival weekend and the location was convenient but next time I'll just pay the extra money for peace of mind.
