I stayed 4 nights at Tanya's place for a conference downtown Chicago (Palmer House). Tanya's place was located about a 5 minute walk from the Green Line. Even though I was apprehensive about using public transit for the first time, it was a breeze. The total commute was about 30 minutes and trains ran about every 10 minutes, even after midnight. Tanya's home is clean and comfortable. Tanya was a friendly host. I have no complaints!
