The Rectory is in a lovely, quiet neighborhood and the house is clean, bright, and nicely furnished and decorated. We (two couples) found it to be a good base for exploring Chicago. It was easy to pick up groceries and prepare breakfasts and a dinner or two in the spacious kitchen with its brand-new appliances. We didn't have a car and used public transit. The nearest "L" station is six (long) blocks away, and some might find this too far, especially in poor weather. It wasn't a problem for us and the weather was good. We'd stay here again on a future visit to Chicago!
