Martha's place is downstairs of where she live. She and her family were very friendly and helpful, if you need anything, just ask. The street parking was limited, but they moved their car for us to park near. The parking was free with the daily permits she provided. We had the whole downstairs apartment to ourselves. It's a short and easy walk from Martha's place to the Pink Line. We took the Pink Line to Downtown Chicago, it was very convenient. We enjoyed our stay at her place.
