Cheap and not ideal.
Pros:

I went to visit my daughter who recently moved to the area and the booking was a 15 to 20 minute walk from her apartment

Cons:

There was a TV in the room, but no remote. The bottom sheet on the bed was not fitted so it didn’t stay tucked in. There was a plastic covering over the mattress so the sheets slipped off. I had to take a shower at my daughter‘s apartment because the shower was disgusting and didn’t work very well. The other people staying in the rooming house where noisy.

Excellent location; poor maintenance and furnishing selection for the apartment
Pros:

The location was excellent for our trip--near public transport, the lake, and out friend's home

Cons:

The place was dirty. The dishes were dirty even though they were left in the drying bin. The furnishings were dilapidated and the place was a hodge-podge of things most of which were not selected for usefulness--i.e they had an air fryer, but no coffee makers. The place did not use space effectively.
This is a fairly small place, but it could have easily been made more comfortable, useful, and clean

Very disappointed and feeling of harassment
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I booked a one-night stay at 1656 West Hollywood Avenue, Chicago to stay one night on July 26. I tried calling customer service many times since Friday, July 25, but no one answered. On July 26, I went to the guest house trusting that there would be customer service available, but no one was there. I stayed for more than two hours waiting for their response, but they never answered my calls. After many calls they texted me the passcode. The passcode they sent me did not allow me to enter the room. The only communication I received was via text messages, which did not help me get inside. The next day, I sent a message asking for money transfer, but they did not respond.
When I mentioned I would report the issue, they finally replied, but their texts were rude and verbally harassing. They did not apologize for the hardship they caused me.
Because of this, I was almost homeless and could not stay overnight. I am very disappointed with the lack of support, poor communication, and disrespectful behavior. I am reporting this situation to the Illinois Attorney General, Chicago Consumer Protection Division, and City of Chicago – Business Affairs & Consumer Protection.
This is not a trusted service at all. I hope you improve your service and customer care, but most importantly, I expect you to transfer my money back as I did not receive the service I paid for

Can be nice if you are lucky to be in a good room. Kind of a lottery
Pros:

I had a first stay in an apartment which was good, equipped and comfy so when I had to come back and stay longer I immediately thought about this place. The location was good for me, nice neighborhood, etc. However I have to admit my second stay was disappointing...
AC was a huge plus appreciated however

Cons:

1. The price is way too high regarding the quality offered
2. The apartment was not as clean (dirty dishes, broken sofa, floor damaged)
3. The stairs are coming through the bedroom so woke up several times when someone was going up or down from the 3rd floor
4. Not a real kitchen not equipped just a microwave and no tools to cook, fridge was really small so clearly not what was sold and even more for a long stay as I did...

Its highly affordable but you get what you paid for.
Pros:

The block was pretty and location central for my needs.

Cons:

The entrance at night feels a bit creepy, although well lit. The apt has an awful odor. The kitchen stove was GROSS and the place in general is old and not esthetically pleasing. The bathroom smells even more like sewage, the light in the bathroom over the mirror was broken. The bedroom is a great size but there is no free flow of air or a fan, save for a little desktop heater that also serves as one. One of the lights in there is also broken and constantly flickers. The sheets were too small for the bed so you slide around due to the plastic mattress cover.
