Great location, better view. If you want to watch the sun rise on Lake Michigan, go for this. If you want a 10-15 dollar Uber ride into downtown, stay here. The place has good restaurants, and downtown is easily accessible by public transport (CTA buses and Metra). Univ of Chicago is walking distance (15-20 minutes), so this is a great place for anyone planning to visit. Finally, the view from the living room is unbeatable. Sabiha's a wonderful host, very friendly who could make you feel at home instantly. Great, great stay.
