Super close to public transit! Just FYI, the Uber driver who dropped us off told us, "Don't walk around here at night, and don't ride the L train at night. Bye!" We didn't have any problems with the locals, but I would definitely just be cautious and have increased awareness of your surroundings when walking through this part of the neighborhood. The Uber ride to the city is about $11-$12 which was not bad at all. We had a great time learning how to ride the L. Everyone is SO friendly!!
