Downtown is easily accessible from this location. We went downtown everyday and were there in 15-20 minutes. United Center is literally just around the corner if you want to catch a Bulls game. Washer and dryer in unit were a HUGE plus given that we traveled with our toddler! Just an all around good choice if you're planning a busy Chicago trip and need a comfortable place to stay. Anita responds very quickly to messages which is a huge plus. I'd definitely recommend staying here if you can.
