City advice
Getting around
The CTA or 'L'
The Chicago Transit Authority, commonly known as the CTA or the Loop (L) are a great way to get around the city. Our space is located 15 minutes from the Logan Square Blue Line stop, which you can take into the Loop downtown. It's very easy to use, but intimidating to first time riders. Google Maps is king here! We can always provide guests with tips and instructions on using the CTA as well.
