The neighbor hood is safe , I had a dog with me, I felt safe walking my dog at night near the house . The place is clean and host is very nice . They provided a lot of fruits and drinks on arrival . There’s a train track behind the house, so for light sleeper it may be a little noisy, however it was okay for me. Will definitely recommend even for families with children . It is close to downtown Chicago for driving , navy pier , about 30 min drive . Getting in and out is super easy even if you don’t have a car as the train station is super close.
