I was in town for a conference on the waterfront downtown, and looking to save some money. I was arriving late and leaving early, so only met Côte one morning, but she was lovely. She wasn't available when I was arriving, but she provided very clear instructions, and everything was exactly as she said it would be. Walk to the train station was about 5 minutes. It's one road, and quite busy, so it felt very safe. It's about 30 minutes by train downtown, give yourself two hours to get to and from O'Hare, to be safe. Trains are easy to use, and $3 a trip, $5 from O'Hare. The only downside was that there are other roomers in the building, and you can't lock your room when you aren't inside it. So anything of value I took with me. Oh, and I should have brought a towel. Feels like a youth hostel. Room was clean, had AC. Would stay with Côte again, for sure.
