Maghen’s place is very conveniently located. It’s a couple minutes away from the train/bus stop, and as first-time visitors in Chicago, it was super easy getting around using public transportation. We never met her in-person, but that was no problem for us as she responded immediately whenever we messaged her.
I would advise to pack sleeping mask/earplugs if you are a light sleeper, though, as it is an older building with creaky floorboards and the streetlights filter into the room at nighttime. My friend who is a deep-sleeper was not bothered by this at all, but I found myself waking up earlier than intended each morning.
