Solid house, decently located for the price, okay for groups, very communicative and responsive host.
Clearly rehabbed and kitted out for vacation rentals, more functional than charming or luxurious, but that's fine - what we expected. The rooftop is one of the best features - nice place to hang out (with one caveat - see below).
Neighborhood is transitional, but not particularly unsafe-feeling. Reasonably central to most of the most likely destination neighborhoods for a visitor. 3-4 easily walkable blocks to St. Charles Ave, where there are coffee shops, pharmacies, hotel bars, etc. Street noise is low, maybe mostly from groups staying at nearby vacation rentals.
Host quite communicative and responsive before and after (we had no large questions or issues during the rental).
Despite being able to sleep ~10 people and having three gathering spots (including the roof), there's nowhere with enough chairs/couches/seats for even 7-8 people actually to sit down and hang out in the same place (and a few chairs are bolted down). Sort of an odd oversight.
But everything was as described, with no significant surprises either to the upside or downside. We were perfectly satisfied with the stay.
