    For me, it was so conveniently located near where I needed to be for work! And to see a show downtown was not a far or expensive Lyft ride at all. The bed in the room was very comfortable and the home was nice.

The property is a comfy small intimate setting. One can get to downtown Chicago in 10-15 mins by car with no traffic. Its across from a junior high school and public transportation is right across the street. You can reach pretty much any location in the city with public transportation. You will be on the main level with the bathroom and Kitchen. This is a shared housr with private bedrooms. The kitchen, and bath are shared areas. If there are more questions, please contact us.
I will not be far away, I live on the same street in the same neighborhood. If you need anything, just let us know ASAP. I am happy to assist and have you as a guest!
This area is considered the Austin Area and is up and coming. We have plenty of stores and shopping in the area. Our neighboring areas are Oak Park, North Riverside and River Forest.
