Ryan is a great host, very communicative and responsive with the most clear instructions for self-check in. Describing it as a basement apartment would be misleading as it is extremely clean, well designed and spacious with every convenience you could need. Super comfortable bed, great shower, and high powered space heaters available in the living and bedroom spaces for colder Chicago days. The street was very quiet, but neighborhood feels safe and is an easy walk to restaurants, shops, the Western metra station and even the 606 trail and downtown if you’re looking to explore the city on foot. With limited hotels in this part of the city, Ryan’s place is a no-brainer.
