Our group of four guys stayed here and were drawn to its style and character, as well as its central location to explore the neighborhoods west and northwest of downtown and downtown itself. In the immediate area, there is a nice cafe across the street for breakfast and lunch, and the Metro stay gives you easy access to other places in Chicago.
The place itself was very comfortable and ideal for hanging out together as a group. The place was very clean and no one complained about the beds. Two of us (one 6'0" and the other 6'4") slept in the room with the two beds, and although they were shorter, we were still comfortable enough. The grill came in handy for a cookout we had one night, and many cooking utensils are provided. We also appreciate the ground coffee provided. Communication with the host was excellent, he was quick to respond and gave clear instructions.
Only a couple minor things we wished for were bigger body towels and ability to access TV apps like Hulu and SlingTV - we bought a Roku while in town to watch some of a soccer tournament. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again though.
