This is a great place to stay if you're on a budget as it is affordable. We had slight issues with navigating our way around as the tube lines are not close to where we were staying but locally there are amazing places to eat hang out and shop. The nieghbouhood around this place is great everyone was warm and friendly and moreover you genuinely get to take in Chicago/American culture with people on the streets getting along with their niegvbours music etc - had we stayed in a hotel or downtown it possibly would not have been the same. The only down side was we travelled with UK electrical items I.e. hair straighteners and curlers and they did not work due to the voltage difference etc therefore would recommend you check this before you travel or purchase these items whilst out there.
