A spacious single-family home; minutes away from Midway Airport (train station), within walking distance from gorgeous and dog-friendly parks, and walking distance of plentiful of supermarkets and convenience stores. Downtown Chicago is just about 40 minutes away from a train ride. The space The entire room is yours to use! Just be respectful and sanitary of the room -- common sense! As you can see, the room is highly decorated with an assorted and variety of posters. You'll have access an enormous bedroom that was furnished for the purpose of a media/entertainment center, then purposed with a full-size bed. This room is ideal for watching TV, movies, listening to music, etc. You can hook up your own laptop to the 42" LCD TV via HDMI or VGA. Alternatively, you can also hook up your device via a bluetooth adapter. My home theater system easily connects to any smartphone device with bluetooth capabilities. So you won't have to worry about hooking up cords if you're listening to music via your phone/ipad/kindle/etc etc. I've also a Roku 3 attached to the TV; so you can stream content from your device onto the TV, stream media from my massive cloud server (12 TB's), or watch videos on native apps like Netflix or Hulu via the Roku 3. It's also got an auxiliary (earphones or headphones plug) connection, so that you can binge watch your favorite show without disturbing others at night. Or if you're too ashamed to openly watch My Little Pony, then you can watch it at your discretion. Can't sleep? Watch a movie! Don't feel like leaving the house, and want to cook, why not blast some music!? There are speakers in every corner of the room. You can even feel the slightest vibration emitting from the walls even at mid-volume. You've got a walk-in closet as well, so feel free to unpack as if you've arrived home for the holidays. 【IMPORTANT】 For families or groups of three, PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT PRICING.
