Noel's place is lovely! It's very spacious and has all that you might need. We came during the week and needed space to work, so having an extra room as an office was great! Pilsen itself felt quite unique, full of street art, great Mexican food and some cute thrift stores. It's about 15-20 min uber/lyft ride (we did not use public transport due to covid, but there was a transit map at the apartment and it looked quite convenient) to the mag mile and all the downtown stuff (Navy Pier, Millennium Park) which was great! Yet, I would like to note, it's a bit far from the Uptown if you are planing on going out at night to see jazz, blues, comedy (account for the Uber/Lyft cost). What I loved the most about this space besides Noel's amazing hospitality, was that it has character, not the "new" typical ikea furnished cookie-cutter type.
