While this place is technically in one of the higher crime areas of Chicago, it is in a low traffic area and feels quite safe. The space itself is newly renovated, and the quality shines. It is a spacious studio, with a fully functional kitchen complete with gas range and large pantry. The bathroom is clean and pleasing to use, with a very interesting toilet design! The bed is comfortable, and the den area is as well. Communication with the host was fast and easy. I would definitely stay here again!
