Really liked Ria's place. Clean, comfortable, plenty of space to spread out and a very good location, if you want to be situated northside. Not far from great places to visit and eat and from bus and subway stations -- if you want to hit, say, downtown, which I did. I also had all I needed, and getting in and out was easy. Ria also provides great instructions for the apartment and nearby necessities and eateries. It was perfect for my first visit to Chicago.
