A really nice place in one of the southern neighborhoods of Chicago, which is nice and safe but also means that you will have to use both the Metra and the CTA trains every day in order to get to downtown Chicago. While these work pretty efficiently (took us around 40 mins for each direction), the Metra train runs only once every hour on weekdays and only once every two hours on weekends. With Metra, it's best to use their app to buy tickets and avoid double payments, which could happen if you pay cash on the train itself. Nevertheless, this is a good, reasonably priced option if you can't afford staying in the Loop.
