Actual location is South Chicago near Roseland, with a new Walmart close by and a new US Bank. Otherwise goods and services were at least 30-40 minutes away via interstate. We enjoyed recommendations by the hosts. Were there for a wedding, not used to Chicago traffic on steroids and we were able to get around. There were about 25 steps from ground level sidewalk to living area, and another dozen to basement laundry. Need to ask about this always.
