Great location if you want to be close to the airport and have an early flight, which I did. It is a 20-25 minute walk to the Jefferson metro station, and from there about 15 minutes to O'Hare. There is a bus that will take you to the metro, but I prefered to walk. It took me 1h from Jax's place to get to Grant Park. I did not met her Mom but she was helpful with my late check-in. Very nice people, highly recommend!
