Shawn's an awesome host, and the Evergreen House is a wonderful stay in the Chicago area that I'd recommend to anyone. As a first time visitor to Chicago, the Evergreen House was a great spot that gave my friend and I easy access to public transportation to see all of the amazing areas downtown, but also kept us in a pleasant and quiet neighborhood that made the trip nice and relaxing.
As someone who is fairly used to living in small apartments/studios, it was also awesome to be in the Evergreen House because of how much space it had to offer. Everything in the house was comfy, nice and clean, and things like a brita for water, clean sheets, and towels were all available.
Shawn himself is a great host - not only was he timely in getting back to us to give us what we needed, but he had great recommendations for food in the local area as well. Because of my stay this past weekend, I'm definitely looking forward to visiting Chicago again soon.
