Lovely residential neighborhood, private entrance, laundry and bathroom facilities are great. Unless the weather is good, you probably want a car because it's about 9 blocks to the L station and several more to the lake, so you won't want to walk there in the rain/snow/extreme heat. Spacious and basic, kitchenette is good for stocking snacks, but don't expect to be able to prepare full meals. Hosts were gracious and helpful.
