Quiet and clean place. It's a great value, especially for a weekend trip since we were only there to sleep and shower. It's a shared living space but we barely heard the other guests, plenty of room in the fridge, etc. Great free parking right on the cross street right next to the building.
"Niceness" varies from block to block all over Chicago, and this building is right on the edge of a rougher area, though everything further east is quite nice. I wouldn't let this deter you, we didn't have any problems.
All in all, unbeatable price for the space and would definitely recommend/stay here again.
