A great home base to enjoy Chicago! The nearby parks are packed with history and the proximity to the Blue and Green lines makes this a very cozy spot to put your things down and take a breather. Word of the wise - follow the advice in the guest book! I made the mistake of going to the closest liquor store instead of the recommended one, never again LOL. This is in a part of town with few bars/restaurants, so come prepared by making a quick stop at a grocery store if you plan on being there a few days. We had great experiences with the neighbors and even though the area may seem rough, no one gave us any problems going to-from the L stations.
