Overall, this is a great value close to Chicago proper and within walking distance of public transit. With that being said I would recommend finding an Uber in the evenings. I did not feel comfortable walking through the neighborhood after dark because it isn't well lit and East Garfield Park isn't one of the safer parts of town. Communicating with Ryan was very easy and he was quite helpful in terms of recommendations for transit and sights to see. The free coffee, free street parking, and access to multiple TV streaming services were also a nice touch.
