The apartment was very unique with a lot of special touches. My group and I really enjoyed the space and only had great things to say about Marlene as a host. However, we were a little uncomfortable with the surrounding neighborhood and I would not recommend spending time exploring the area. We also did hear from friends who live in Chicago that the Green Line (which is the closest line) is not the most safe. It was a great fit for us because we were going straight to downtown every day for a music festival, but I wouldn't advise staying here if you're looking for a place that you can walk from. Nothing against the space or Marlene, both were fantastic but just not located in the safest area.
