Carries and Brad's place is in a really convenient location - about 10 mins walk from the blue line and then 15 mins ride to reach downtown. However, the street the house is on and the surrounding area is lovely too. If I return to Chicago I'd definitely consider staying there again. Carrie and Brad were also very accommodating and helpful - letting me leave my luggage in the apartment for a while after checkout and advising on places to eat nearby.
