Its a great area of Chicago, quiet and friendy neighbourhood that feels safe to walk around in as well as scenic with beautiful gardens. Once we worked it out with Russes help, public transport was easily accessable by short walk including to and from the airport. Close to good eating places within walking distance around the corner. It was really hot when we stayed, and we needed to use the fans that Russ supplied. We were out most of the day being tourists and we could have had air conditioning if we needed it.
The bathroom is on the ground floor and sleeping space in the attic. Ok for us but the stairs might be a problem for some.
