This is a very good value; it is hard to get two bedrooms and access to a backyard in Chicago at this price, so that is definitely a factor to consider if your primary concern is budget. The check in process was not very streamlined—I had to call to get the codes—and the apartment is very close to bus lines but a thirty or thirty five minute walk to trains rather than the ten or fifteen as advertised. Host checked in a couple of times by texting my cell to see if all was well; while well-intentioned, it would have felt a bit uncomfortable to raise these issues that way. As I said, it’s a matter of weighing priorities.
