We would definitely recommend this location if you like to be off the beaten path just enough to decompress. We were able to park our car right out front and used public transportation. A one minute walk will take you to a bus stop that services Navy Pier. Another great option was the Divvy bike share. The apartment was very clean & comfortable, best suited for 2 people. Privacy & safety were never a concern with the gated entry. The outdoor patio provided a nice spot for morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day. Overall the hosts made our 1st airbnb experience a great alternative to a hotel room!
