July 2026

Positive: The house was very clean and had all the amenities listed. Though I was skeptical about sharing a bathroom initially, the other room occupants were respectful and kept it clean. The location was very good. The owner was communicating well and answered most questions. Negative: The shower space could do with a shower caddy and the owner should be a bit more specific about parking facilities. The place doesn't have any dedicated parking spots and it's open street parking (with Chicago zoning restrictions). So, it's kind of a hit or miss with the parking situation.
