Bosede's place is an outstanding value for the money. Two blocks to the Cottage Grove bus line which takes you all the way downtown, with no transfers necessary. One and a half blocks to the Green Line rapid transit, which connects to Metra lines and all other rapid transit lines. Four blocks to the Midway, six blocks to the cafeterias of the U of Chicago hospitals, six blocks to most of the classrooms. On a very tight budget, as I was, and without my own wheels, this was a huge plus. Full disclosure: I was raised in the area and was prepared for the somewhat gritty atmosphere around the Green Line station and nearby areas. Lyft may be a prudent alternative, more affordable with Bosede's rates.
