The place is a great beautiful house, the location is a bit sketchy but very conviennent and cool. The host was completely absent. It’s obviously a business and the hosts don’t really care who you are or why you’re here. This place is pretty good if your looking for a hostel. It’s not a commun Airbnb, it’s shared which is mentioned in the ad so we were not surprised. We were surprised however at how many people there were (10 at least at all times). The bathroom is the best room there but it’s often taken and you kinda depend on other people to get ready which can be annoying if you’re in a hurry. We thought it was really messy, with random objets in every room: unplugged TVs, boxes, machines, old bikes... We paid cleaning fees and one bed was not made when we got to our room and there was trash under our bed and we had to take our shoes off or we would be kicked out.
The other guests were super sweet and it was fun meeting other people.
Overall we thought it wasn’t worth our money compared to other places available in Chicago.
