My friend and I stayed for a week with Patrick & Erin. When we arrived, we were a little concerned of the neighbourhood being two women. But as soon as we arrived, everyone was friendly, said hello to us and asked if we needed any help. Patrick was an incredible host, anything we needed he provided almost immediately and responded so quickly to texts. The place has minimal items when you arrive, but whatever you need he will provide as long as you ask! He even remembered it was my friends birthday after telling him once and brought her cake with lit candles and sang her happy birthday. He checked in with us every day to see how we were liking Chicago and if we needed anything. He even gave us insider tips about Chicago PD filming an episode right down the street!!! It was so cool! The place itself is about a 5 block walk to the L train that goes straight downtown. The station staff were so friendly helping us figure out how to buy a pass and give us directions. If you’ve never travelled or feel uncomfortable easily, this may not be the place for you. But I would encourage everyone to be open to the experience and not judge the neighbourhood by its cover. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back to Chicago.
