Patrick greeted us for our check in and showed us some features of the property. It was a safe neighborhood, two blocks from a couple bus stops east and west, a few more blocks away from the L, very easy to get around and some great shopping and eating areas a short bus ride away. Grocery store is close by. Accommodations are modest but very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed except a coffee maker, but this was a minor thing because there were many coffee options close by. There was also a really cute garden chill out area that was offered for us to share. It's hard not to have a great time in Chicago in the summer, but this really helped us to have a nice home base at a much more affordable price than a downtown hotel, and the neighborhood had a much more laid back and less touristy vibe. Patrick has done a nice job with the property and it was really a solid place to stay.
