Desplazamientos

Closest Subway Stop is the W. Grand Blue Line Station

Only a five minute walk from the townhouse, the W. Grand CTA Blue Line station is super convenient for a quick ride downtown, for commuting to and from O'Hare Airport, and for visiting nearby neighborhoods like Wicker Park (N. Damen Stop) or Logan Square!
