Thanks Ryan, Josh, Austin..! Wonderful little castle. Really fantastic concept, to renovate a mini mansion and improve a west chicago neighborhood.
What the host says is true, single people, euro travelers, females may want to take Uber if coming home late. The Green train station exit is just 2 1/2 blocks (past a popular liquor store) and some of the characters there look rough, but they are actually used to travelers going through and they know there is a police presence around and at that store.
But for god sakes, for the price and the size of the room, and the garden, the kitchen, the cute dogs, laundry - its its own little oasis. I would just hang there half the day with espressos and my own sense of decompressing from nyc!:)
Comfy, great beds.
