Solid place to stay when exploring Chicago. Easy to get to the L to downtown (5-10 min walk). I had my car, too, and didn't have a problem parking it on her street. My room was clean, warm, and comfortable. At times it was tricky to snag the bathroom, but nothing terrible...so it goes when you share. Helen and her son were super nice and easy to talk to. I had a couple of things pop up and Helen was quick to respond and help me. Overall, a nice spot to land.
