Emily's place was really convenient to all the things we came to Chicago to do, like the aquarium, museums, etc. Less than 10 minutes from downtown. We also easily found parking out front every night. The beds were very comfortable, although I thought the sofa was a pull out, turns out not, which was not hosts fault, I just misread the listing. Worked OK for my son but he wasn't very comfortable on the sofa or airbed. Overall it was a good stay for our family and we felt very safe in the neighborhood during our first visit to the city.
