This is the first time I am really disappointed by Airbnb reviews. I have NO IDEA how this place could have good reviews - I would NEVER recommend it.
THE HOUSE
The house is way worse than it seems from the pictures: the rooms are bare, furniture is missing everywhere. Everithing was filthy, especially the kitchen, where I could hardly find a decent pot to cook something. We found six cockroaches in the apartment over three days and I didn't feel comfortable with that at all.
THE AREA
I didn't know that the South of Chicago wasn't safe so I booked this apartment lightheartedly. BE AWARE of that. The area is NOT SAFE. I felt really scared when I came back at night, even though my boyfriend was with me. There is also a club in front of the house so we could often hear drunk people screaming in front of our house during the night. Fortunately the 18 bus stop is just a 2-minute walk, but make sure not to take other lines that will stop farther making you walk for longer - we did it and it was not fun.
