Yes it is small, but it is clean and quiet (quiet at least compared to downtown). Convenient to the red line (the Lincoln station is closed, however, so a bit more of a walk to Argyle). If you will be out and about, the small size isn't a problem. If you plan to stay in, it might not be the best as there really isn't a comfortable way to sit for a while. If you have a choice between Midway and O'Hare airports, I found it faster and easier to get to/from Midway, even though it is slightly farther away. Plus, you can get to MDW using the red/orange lines.
