We’re right in the heart of Chicago. With Little Italy three blocks to the South and Greektown a few more to the Northeast, we’re surrounded by great neighborhoods and cultural shopping and dining. Transportation is easy; we’re right off I-290/94 and across the street from the Racine Blue Line stop.
