Clean and well maintained for older property. Interesting location but good to walk to United Center. Enough off street parking. Enough space for multiple people and good gathering outside with fire pit and roof deck. Overall great authentic Chicago experience!

The host was very responsive and helpful. The location was perfect - between the airport and downtown attractions. Parking right in front of the building. We loved the property and the beds were so comfortable! Really worth the stay - recommend highly.
