Molly and Brian’s place was very clean and spacious. The heater worked great, and they had it running before I arrived. It took about an hour to get to all major attractions using public transportation. The nearest bus and train stop were an easy walk away and it wasn’t difficult to figure out my way around the city. If you’re not driving I’d suggest buying a CTA pass, which you can use for the train and bus. I bought a 3 day pass for $20 which is unbelievably cheap compared to the Bay Area. They were quick to respond before and during my stay which was nice. I’d come back again.
