Positives: Very nice area in the condo where a group can visit/eat, etc. Nicely furnished and very clean. Easy check-in, with lists of local restaurants, etc provided by the host. The location was very near to cool restaurants and shops and Lincoln Park.
Negatives: Extremely noisy due to location up against the EL tracks. Cannot stress this enough! Sleep impairment. The open stairways could be an issue if you have children or people who need hand rails in order to navigate.
