This may be the most affordable housing option. Try looking in the area with the following perimeter: As far north as 47th St., as far south as 59th St, as far west as Drexel, and as far east as… the lake. If you feel more comfortable with the area, there will certainly be good Airbnb options outside of these parameters, and we’re happy to advise you if you have more questions about whether a certain street is safe.
