Patt is a wonderful and helpful host. You will be in good hands.
Woodlawn has a bad reputation, but you are staying in the north of Woodlawn, just outside the southern campus area. I stayed for 11 weeks and didn’t have any issues.
Pros:
- Great kitchen
- Clean
- Nice TV
- Grocery store 1min away
- I was worried about the bed at first, but it was actually fine!
- To repeat: very nice and helpful host
Cons:
- As everywhere in Chicago, it’s quite expensive
- If you are a light sleeper, bring earbuds: the heating/airco system is noisy in this room
- The chair sucks. It’s a patio chair! Patt, I like you, but please buy a nicer chair for the room!
