It was a last minute decision to travel to Chicago but I got lucky locating a place to stay on Airbnb. Aaron and Carrie's place was walking distance to my daughter's apartment....super convenient. The apartment was spacious, quiet, clean and well appointed. Nice kitchen, bath and bedroom. The gym in the basement was well equipped. There's a small bar and a cafe located in the lobby where residents hang out on their laptops.
Very close to the Lawrence red line station. Like I said, I got lucky and everything worked out well.
Pay attention to the instructions regarding retrieving the fob and on street parking if you have a vehicle.
