As a middle aged woman, I brought my nieces to Chicago to explore for the first time. I chose this location due to its proximity to the train, but now realize it is the BEST NEIGHBORHOOD!!!! It is a generational neighborhood, all the properties and businesses are owned by those who have lived here for generations. Authentic. And I felt so safe. Terrific restaurants nearby as well as the bucket-list venue, Thalia Hall. The bus stop is super close, and the train just 2 blocks. The unit was small but perfect for us. It was stocked nicely with coffee and a fridge that has filtered water, and this is great for weary travelers arriving late. Entry is seamless. I want to address some of the negative things I have read I the reviews: 1) The A/C will freeze you out. 2) There was no problem with noise from above, save a few footsteps here and there. 3) the toilet paper is only 1 ply which seems cheap but also, we chose this unit for affordability so... 4) the mattresses. Well, they are great for one person. Two people in the bed and there is a deep well in the middle. Someone is either on a high side or a low side. I think the owners may need to sleep in the beds now after some time has passed since they had good reviews on the mattresses. It would have been a perfect 5 star stay but the patio advertised did not have patio furniture to sit on. There was furniture out there but it was all covered up. Overall: this stay was fantastic. Very hospitable. Would absolutely stay again.
