It met my expectations! Julia and Daniel were very communicative and the check-in process was breezy The area is close enough to Cubs, Target, and some other handy stores that you could walk (~15 min) or drive (5 min). It's a shared location, but my experience with the other house guests was fine and we all respected each other's spaces. Your personal room is locked as well. Not a quiet neighborhood though, so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper! Strongly recommend for an affordable and comfortable stay.
