Hidden gem on the northside of Chicago, fusion of BNB and Hostel, truly a wonderful place, thrifty but huge on amenities and benefits. Wonderful northside locale not far from the Northshore burbs, the lake, and a couple of really cool neighborhoods in the city, and a zoo and a few major parks within walking distance. Also really quiet safe area and the place is really quiet at night, people here are very respectful, which gives it a hostel like feel.
The place is really nice, well stocked and really does have a BNB feel to it, nice amenities, fresh baked bread, full breakfast, two kitchens for guests to use, clean and really nice bathrooms with towels, soap (good soap too, they make their own I think), and just about everything a traveler could wish for.
Seriously, I travel a lot, and stay in hotels and ranches, and even rented a wide open plain for a week, and this is by far one the best place I've stayed at in years and probably The Best Value in Chicago.
