The place is excellently situated - a 10-minute walk to the blue line metro (which runs 24 hours a day), and a 4-minute walk to the 66 bus which goes all the way to Navy Pier. Good breakfast places and shops within walking distance.
The room is big with a great bathroom and the balcony is brilliant (although there were no chairs there when we stayed).
The room was very warm, but there was a fan provided and we left the patio door open as well.
The toilet was blocked when we arrived which was a bit inconvenient, but it was fixed by the end of the day when we reported it.
There wasn't much interaction with the host or flatmate who seemed to be pretty busy and were not very chatty - everyone has off weeks! The common spaces were less welcoming - we put beers in the fridge but they were removed (not a big deal but just in case you are relying on fridge space). This is more a place where you can keep yourself to yourself and stick in the room (which is great so no problem there).
