I just wanted a place to be able to sleep at night since I'd be out most of the day, and this place was great for that. You get your own room and have to share the common areas with others, but that was fine for me since I barely used them except for the bathroom. However, you can hear everything from the rooms near yours, so you may be woken up by others in the morning. There were also multiple nights where the bathroom next to ours was locked with no one inside for some reason, but there's a few other bathrooms which made it more bearable. Regarding how safe I felt in the area (as a short, young female), I think I felt mostly safe (there were kids running around as well which was comforting) but not as much on the walk from the train/CTA compared to the bus. If you're gonna take the train and are worried about safety, I suggest you go to the entrance/exit with the bridge near the hospital, not the other way that makes you walk on the sidewalk past the empty fenced areas to get to the entrance/exit. I would also highly suggest taking the CTA bus rather than the train though because the walk from the bus stop feels safer and it's a faster walk home. Both are relatively not long walks which was nice. Overall, the experience was good and provided the basics of what I needed, and management is nice!
