Nate's place is all around a great choice for anyone visiting Chicago, it was my first time in the area and found it to be a perfect place for someone new to the city.
It is very close to the train which runs often and you can be downtown (and back) in a half hour at almost any time of the day.
That being said, it is in a nice neighborhood with lots of local food and recreation options! It being a short train ride away from downtown makes it a nice place to wake up and sleep away from the hustle and bustle while keeping it within arms reach.
The place itself is very clean and very well accommodating and completely as described. Definitively an incredible value for the area and I would seriously recommend staying here and I would be hard pressed to bother looking for somewhere else myself when staying in the area.
