Charming space, people, and location.
William, Aza, and everyone sharing space in No Nation made my time in Chicago a truly impactful one.. The space itself is a container of energy, which is audibly released with every movement. Literally. This is a performance art
space among many other things, in a very old, creaky, perfectly imperfect building above a furniture shop. Expect to hear your flatmates movements, voices, and to be heard. Expect to hear the trains. I loved every moment in Chicago, and living here for a moment was a huuuuge part of that. Location on Milwaukee and Damen was absolutely perfect.
It's not going to have every comfort of a hotel or conventional home, but that's not what I want, and it makes up for it in so many other ways.
The room does not have a window to the outside, but rather to the kitchen. Personally found this the most difficult part, as someone sensitive/dependent on sunlight in my bodily rhythm. The bathroom was kept clean, although the shower pressure was not always good. The space can get drafty and cold.
Otherwise, really incredible and very worth it. So glad I got to see the community No Nation is cultivating, and to have the chance to connect with so many individuals in my time here.
