Chanda's place was the perfect spot to stay in Chicago. It is in a very quiet residential area, with street parking all around. It felt very safe. The walk to the L (blue line) is about 5 minutes right up the road and it takes you right into the heart of the city (and connects directly to O'hare the other direction). There are numerous restaurants, coffee shops, etc. all around the neighborhood and the apartment was VERY quiet and comfortable and spotlessly clean. We ordered deep dish delivery from Lou Malnati's and it was wonderful. I would absolutely stay here again.
