The apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood, the bus stop is a 2 minute - walk away. Downtown Chicago is close to reach with bus and train. Trains and buses run often, not only on the weekdays but also on the weekend. Charla is a terrific host. She is very helpful and caring. I had written her that I would participate in the Chicago halfmarathon. Charla then did research to find out where I had to go to get my bib and which bus to take to get to the start. She is a lovable person. I enjoyed finding water and coffee in the apartment, as well as the comfy bed and the fluffy big towels. Thank you very much for your hospitality, Charla.
