This is a great neighborhood with easy access to the subway, bus, O'Hare and downtown Chicago. We felt safe and comfortable walking around, and we found the residents and shop owners to be friendly. There are a variety of terrific restaurants within easy walking distance, and if you choose to take a break there is a great selection of movies and music in the apartment. We felt right at home, and the hosts made us feel very welcome. They left detailed instructions to help us get around. We will definitely stay here again!
