We came to Chicago for the Chicago Marathon, and this condo was a perfect location and very accommodating for our group. As other reviewers have noted, the train is very close - the sound did not bother us at all but you should be prepared if you're not used to it. The neighborhood is beautiful and there are tons of great restaurants nearby. The soaking tub was very appreciated after the marathon. Washer and dryer are downstairs which is convenient, but we did note that the dryer doesn't work very well. Great communication - the hosts were extremely responsive and instantly approved my requests when I asked (well in advance, of course!) to check in a day early, and then again when I asked for a late checkout.
