We had a wonderful week staying here. The weather was cold and awful when we arrived but check in with the keypad was super easy. The street parking was no problem and we got a close space. So, my son is a blanket snob, but there were plenty of super soft blankets to curl up in on the spacious couch.
We went downtown several days, it took 25-30 minutes to get to the Field Museum, Aquarium, Maggie Day Park, and the planetarium. It was 35-40 minutes to the Museum of Science and Industry (witch I highly recommend).
