This place was perfect for my husband and I for a 2 night stay. The neighborhood felt very safe, and is conveniently located an easy walk to the El and about a 10 minute walk to lake shore drive. We used the bike rental "Divy" which has a bay of bikes less than 0.25 miles from the apartment and rode our bikes down lakeshore drive to explore downtown. This is a great place if you prefer to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of the touristy downtown but still want to experience Chicago city living. We had no problem fitting in lots of exploring in 48 hours by foot, bike, train, and Uber. Highly recommend, only wish we could stay longer.
