This place is amazing. Only 20 mins downtown by car, 30-35 minutes by bus/blue line depending on the traffic. Planet Fitness gym is 5 min walk and also a good deal. Local coffee shop (Brew Brew), bus stop, the park in case u want to go for a jog, are all 5 minute walks. The neighborhood is safe and I have walked sometimes at 11 pm at night and felt safe. Maria’s hospitality is amazing and if I come back to Chicago I would like to stay here. 👌🏼💙
