This is a lovely quiet neighborhood in Chicago, convenient to restaurants and the train. However, the train is about a 20-30 minute ride to downtown. As a tourist in Chicago for the first time, we spent most of our time downtown so a place in downtown proper might be better for short-stay tourists. We did walk to Wrigley Field which probably took us about 1/2 hour and is a nice walk through lovely neighborhoods. The place is comfortable. Mattress ok but not "home" quality. Overall though the place has a real charm to it. The hosts left a nice gift of wine and candied pecans.
