Unit Amenities
The living space comes with a fully equipped kitchen featuring a microwave and oven/stove, so guests can prepare their own meals instead of relying solely on nearby restaurants. Linens and towels are provided, and practical touches like an ironing board, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi round out the setup.

Travel tips
Multiple bus stops sit within a few hundred meters of the property, including 16th Street & Keeler just 82 meters away, making local bus travel simple for getting around without a car. For rail or air connections, plan extra time since Western Avenue train station is several kilometers away and Chicago O'Hare is nearly 20 km out, so Chicago Midway (about 8.2 km) is the more convenient airport option. Since the kitchen is fully equipped, consider picking up groceries early in your stay to take advantage of in-unit cooking alongside the many nearby restaurants.
