Close to everything. I went to a Cubs game and watched the fireworks from the waterfront... all within walking distance. Parking was tough. I had to pay $20 for overnight parking. The hosts gave great directions with pictures on how to enter the building. Ask about the a/c unit if they are. It going to be there, as it gets hot in the room. It's a comfy couch, they give you a blanket, pillow, and towel.
