Description is accurate. Neighborhood is convenient to get around by uber. We flew from Midway airport and took the metro (or "train" as Chicago people call it) to the nearest station ($3 per ticket), and it was only a few blocks from Sukhmit's apartment ($6 uber. He said had we got off from Westin on blue line, it would only cost $4). The uber to downtown (millennium park) was only $10.71. We had a great time in Chicago and had a great time staying with Sukhmit. He's very laid back and we had a great chat. Be sure to ask him about his blog and his podcast when you stay there : ) ~! Good luck to you Sukh!
