8/10 Good

"We weren't there for the house, so we weren't disappointed. For the price, this place was great. Laundry worked and it was close to Starved Rock. It definitely shows a lot of wear and tear, and the dead bolt on the front door is slipping. But it was clean enough, had what we needed, and was close to where we wanted to be, so I can't really complain. I do want to say.. WHO USES SINGLE PLY TOILET PAPER?!?! With the suggestion that a convenience store is nearby.. Other than that, it worked for what we needed it for."
