I used to live in Chicago for twenty years, so I'm quite familiar with the area. One of the best places in the City. Few minute's walk to Brown Line L Stop, and about 20 minutes to downtown. Wriglefield is about 5 minute walk, with all restaurants and nightlife right around the corner. Lakefront is about 15 minutes walk straight down the Addison. Jewel-Osco store is 6 minutes. The location is great.
The place feels like a hostel, but with a private room. The room is small but tidy and neat. The kitchen and common area are big and clean. Internet connection is fast. The only problem, kind of, was the fact that there is only one bathroom and 5 rooms, so you might wait to get in in the morning. Other than that, it is great value for the money in this area. Would stay again and recommend this place.
