Fabulous stay, interesting neighbourhood. The most convenient and value for money route we found to get back from the centre of town (or reverse of course to get into town) was: From Downtown/Loop head North on the Red Line to Addison and straight onto the bus: Addison & Central 12554 (Bus 152). Goes west about 10 minutes. Get off at Addison & Oakley (or Addison & Western) and it’s a leisurely 5-6 minute walk back to the house. The buses run about every 10 minutes. In total will cost just $2.25 for the bus and $2.50 ($5 all day) for the L train/subway.
