There are a few things you should know before booking this listing. First, the positives: The place was very clean and comfortable. It was well situated for exploring all the West Loop has to offer. It’s a short walk to many stores and cafes. Now the negatives: The listing is described as “isolated”. That’s because it is the only front facing house in an alley that is otherwise filled with the backs of houses, garages, dumpsters and trash cans. The alley is clean and well lit, but we did feel a bit hesitant to walk back there after dark due to its isolation. Also, there were signs indicating treatment for a recent rat infestation and multiple rat traps throughout the alley. The treatment seemed to have worked because we did not see any rats during our stay, but honestly, it did freak us out a bit. A word of advice: If you have an issue with something in this listing, take photos and contact air bnb immediately or you might end up being frustrated (as we were) with how things are handled regarding your concerns.
