A real bargain if you know Chicago and are comfortable with being located a bit distant from touristy attractions. As a former Chicagoan who lived very near this location, I was prepared and perfectly pleased with it. Public transportation in this neighborhood is decent but not remarkable (and the nearest L stop is closed for upgrades for the foreseeable future), making a car a good idea here. The apartment is small but nicely decorated and scrupulously clean. Friendly and communicate hosts as well, adding up to an attractive option.
