Very comfortable place for a large group. The kitchen is quite nice and well stocked (but no dishwasher - didn't matter to us as we didn't do much cooking). Overall very clean and the beds were comfortable and bath towels nice. Free parking right in front of the house - a definite perk in Chicago. It was about a 20 minute drive to downtown Chicago. Not that many miles but you don't get anywhere fast in Chicago. The area is pretty nice and we felt safe taking a walk on the 606 trail nearby.
