Silvia's place was PERFECT. The location was beautiful, and even with just my mother and my children traveling with me at night, the neighborhood never made me feel anything but safe and welcome. The apartment is large, clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Silvia allowed us early check in (traveling with small children) and was really responsive when I messaged her. The blue line is blocks away, making travel a breeze (buy the 24 hour ticket and travel away), lots of food choices, and parking was ample. Stay here for your stay to Chicago- you will not regret it!
