Beatrice was a great host. Her place was clean and comfortable, and she had stocked the kitchen with essentials (milk, fruit, coffee, etc) to help make us feel at home. Her place is walking distance to the L train and Lincoln Square but it takes about 35-40 minutes to get to downtown to the Loop. It took us about an hour and 15 minutes to get there from Midway airport on the L train. We used the two bikes she has available every day which was a bonus and that was about an hour bike ride downtown. Beatrice (and family) provided an exceptional personal touch to to our Chicago experience!
