It was right on the blue line, close enough that I could lug my heavy bags back and forth to O'Hare no problem. Close enough to the city center to make taxis or public transit a great option. Pretty quiet for the location, though there are no rugs or soft furnishings (so you will hear neighbors), and it is right next to a fire station. Still, pretty quiet! Right next to a large grocery store. Very nice, clean, minimalist design, and every household amenity you could ask for at this type of place. Bed was comfortable to me, and AC worked well.
