It’s easy to see why it has a ton of 5 star reviews - its exactly what it seems to be. Good value, location (its a really nice neighborhood), great communication, etc.
You are not right downtown, but it’s a very walkable area. We didn’t have any issues with getting downtown via the subway, but if you want to be in the middle of everything then maybe this isn’t the best place for you.
It was great for us though. You’re right in the middle of a nice Chicago neighborhood, and everything about the place and the hosts was great.
