I loved this place because it was nice & clean, not too far from where we were mostly exploring (downtown). & most importantly, I felt pretty safe. There was an alarm as well as gates over every door & windows. The hosts were great. When I called, they answered promptly. Also checked in with me to see how my stay was & even wished me a happy birthday. Overall I'm happy I chose this place. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is planning a trip to Chicago.
