The place was super clean and location was great, however, the blue line is closer to a 10 min. walk. The bus stops are closer which made travel very easy. It's in the middle of a college town and I felt safe walking around at night. Another review mentioned that this made a good "home base" and I agree...the furniture is not comfortable to hang out on and there was a lack of additional blankets. While there were kitchen staples in the way of utensils, there was no salt or pepper and I think we were using a previous guests coffee filters. I ran in the Chicago Marathon and the tub spigots did not work and the tubs did not hold water for a bath. Overall, a good, clean, safe place to stay.
