Nice location walkable to Rate Field and the L. The place was easy to access and clean. The room was chilly, but there's a space heater that I used and helped with that. Definitely comfortable for a brief stay!

July 2026

This place didn’t specify it was part of a guest house with at least ten other rooms. The moment I checked in, there was a noticeable smell of feces coming from the downstairs bathroom. The room that was assigned to us, had numerous amount of lives flies, mosquitos, and other bugs. The sheets were not clean and had seen at least two bed bugs. There was also quite a string layer of dust on the furniture. Additionally, the door to the room seemed like it was made of cheap material and did not have a dead bolt, it made me feel unsafe.

Непривітні господарі, які не хочуть повертати гроші, які вимагають щоб впустити вас в помешкання. Positive: Було чисто Negative: Після того як ви заплатили за резервацію, щоб впустити вас до мешкання, з вас будуть вимагати 300 або 500 доларів, в залежності від штату вашого проживання, які мають потім повернути. Після мого виселення пройшло 28 днів, на мої повідомлення господар не відповідає, Booking також не спішить мені допомагати. Грошей своїх я і досі не отримав назад. Кімната сама по собі дуже маленька. Ванна кімната загальна. Район в якому розташований цей будинок, я б не рекомендував там гуляти, після того як стемніє.
