Great location, in walking distance to may attractions, restaurants, and very close to train station which is a must in Chicago. It's not a secret that sound of the train is very real and very loud, but I acclimated to it after a day or two. Other than that, I found the neighborhood to be lively but fairly quiet. A great place for 1, maybe 2 guests. The bed is a futon, but had "good enough" comfort for me.
