Dan's place is in a great location. It's a quiet neighborhood and seems very safe. It's only a few blocks from the train station. We used the train several times since we went to a cubs game, and downtown. Anytime i sent messages I had very quick responses. Dan even helped with an Amazon package I had shipped there, and was kind enough to snap a few pics of my husband and I as we were heading to a wedding. Great place, great hospitality, and great location.
