Arlete's place is trendy and modern, much like staying in a West Elm ad in the best way. If you are a public transit user it is a bit far from the blue line (about a 15-20 minute walk) and you are slightly in an isolated part of Bucktown (.5 mile to the closest coffee shop). But if you don't mind that, it is in a quiet neighborhood with great amenities to make your stay more than comfortable!
