Mike and Seth were fantastic hosts. They made the place available so we could even drop our bags off early. The space was nice and clean, just as the pictures showed. They left is a nice basket of goodies and had lots of magazines and pamphlets with recommended tourist activities. The "Best Pizzas" edition of Chicago magazine was a particularly nice touch.
The neighbourhood did come off as a little rough. We walked from their place to Douglas Park for a concert and everything seemed a little run down, but it was the middle of the afternoon and I did not feel unsafe. The location does have quick easy access to the Blur Line subway and it is a quick 15 minute über to the loop Whig was great.
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I would recommend it to anyone. Be sure to check out the cats and Godzilla picture!
