Chicago Summer– Budget and Housing?

I landed an IB internship in Chicago that's gonna last 9 weeks. They're paying me what seems like a good salary, but I wanted to get a sense of how much I should be budgeting for living costs (food and housing).

Also, any suggestions on summer housing options (and their cost) would be great–I know there are other threads on this but they are kind of old
