Mindy was great. Lots of synergy there. She takes her hospitality seriously and the place was beautiful with lots of nice thoughtful details. Felt like home (down to the wood burning stove). Very clean and quiet with lots of space. Parking was really easy just outside on the street. No permit required. I parked my car for the week and took the bus right into the loop in 20 minutes. You can even text to get the ETA on when the bus will be at the stop 2 blocks away to time when you leave the house. I cabbed back in the evening as I was coming back after the 10pm cutoff. Cab ride ranged from $7 to $12 depending upon where I was coming from. Make sure you have some change for the first busride in until you can get a CTA card.
I didn't explore the neighborhood a lot but felt safe residential.
Great experience.
