Irena's place was so amazing! It was in a beautiful little suburb only about 25-30 minutes away from the city by bus (the stop is literally just down the street). If you don't want to go into the city, there are great restaurants along the Main Street, we had dinner in a Ron Swanson themed bar and it was so bloody good! If no buses are available, there's always ubers around the area. The beds were so so comfortable and the shower pressure was great! I will definitely stay there again when I go back to Chicago.
