The stay was lovely. We checked in late but there was no issue getting to the place or getting into the house. We took Uber everywhere so I do not know what the public transportation is like, but it was easy to get around by car. It is close to the Wicker Park Neighborhood, which is nice to hang out in the day time or at night. If you are trying to spend a lot of time downtown, it's a bit farther but still easy to get to with Uber.
