This was the first time we stayed away from the downtown area when visiting Chicago, and we loved it. We were close to great restaurants and bars in either direction, and it was a safe walk to and from these places, even at night, after the Pitchfork Festival. We took an Uber into downtown one day for $15, but we mostly just really liked the neighborhood we were in.
This rental is clean and well-appointed, and Lucas just lives upstairs and is quick to communicate.
