I'm currently a little unclear on the demographics of airbnb guests, whether they're shrewd budget travelers or like deranged tarzanic ghetto squatters, who think any night's sleep is fantastic. I've stayed in a couple budget spots that i think were clearly ... questionable, and all the reviews say, "great spot for a stopover!" "everything exceeded my expectations!" "Thanks again Sam, you're the hostess with the mostest" no i'm kidding, but i don't know what your expectations are.
Actually this is pretty good. It's a straight shot from the loop and midway on the orange line. The room is super small and they have the dreaded walmart mandala sheet set, but you can hang out in the den and kitchen. Ceilings are very high which makes a big difference. I think it qualifies as budget urban oasis. Lots of groceries just a 2minute walk. It's kinda oldish in terms of housing stock age but it doesn't have that feel that pioneer suffering is creeping up on you. Some places you feel almost like Wolverine, like your physiognomy is slowly changing to adapt to the swelling sense of dread and cold you feel. But not this one.
