Ryans place has a nice upscale feel to it in an old house with lots of nice furniture and furnishing. It's in a great location for biking into downtown (buffered bike lanes) and is right next to the green line and 82 bus if thats your thing. The Garfield park conservatory was free and amazing within walking distance so worth checking out. Parts of the surrounding area were a little run down but it generally felt safe and didn't detract from our stay.
