this place was in a great place in Chicago! Within walking distance to SO many attractions. the area felt VERY safe. check in and check out was easy. I reccomend using the spot hero app to search and pay for parking if needed. we found a great, secured garage 6 min walk away. whole foods was on the next block over-so thats a great addition so the kitchen can be used! there is a dog that lives next door that you can hesr barking in the morning but I didnt seem to hear it at night.
