This studio is great for a short or longer trip to Chicago. So many things are easily accessible in the area such as shopping, night life, pubs, restaurants, and corner stores or quick to-go places. You are near a train, which is great for transportation and the minimal noise didn't bother me at all. I parked in metered parking right outside the apt and overnight it was free so parking wasn't an issue for me. I hope to stay here again!
