Ryan's place is very well taken care of. We found it to be spotlessly clean and it had all the things we needed, such as towels, linens, dishes, etc. The wifi worked well and there were TVs in each room. I felt safe walking the neighborhood during the day. I get a little more apprehensive in Chicago at night, but that is just me. The train is a bit of a walk, but the bus does come close. It's a little bit of a walk to get to some of the bars and restaurants. There is a very nice family-run coffee shop and bakery (Kristoffer's) within walking distance.
