The Neighborhood Hotel-Little Italy
Great location, spectacular value for what is a nice new apartment. Would be great to have some arrangement for parking, but we figured it out. Ceiling height makes heating a minor challenge.

Experience Chicago living near
United Center
This property was very nice., Host was very accommodating and let us check in early so we didnt need to haul our luggage around with us for hours. My only issue was the not the host fault, but the location is not best area. Probably the cost was so reasonable.
