Ryan's place was so unbelievably cool. It is one of the coolest houses I've ever stayed in. Ryan was incredibly accommodating, he responded quickly and provided all necessary information. It is a ridiculous value, as well. We drove, so I can't speak to the availability of public transport, but there was free parking right in front.
Just a word to the wise. The location was perfectly fine for us, but if you are unused to cities or feel uncomfortable with fringe neighborhoods, please read the other reviews before booking. Again, it was great for us and would be great for most people, but it is not off of the Magnificent Mile, and it doesn't claim to be.
