Getting Around
Morse is the closest El stop, it's on the Red line, 6 blocks east from the apartment.
If you get a pass, you can enter and exit on Lunt, which cuts a block off the walk.
The #96 Lunt bus will take you to the Morse stop - the bus stop is literally in front of the building. It only runs during rush hour.
Download a Ventra ap to get schedules. Also, look up the CTA Bus Tracker - it will tell you when the bus is arriving. I had a roommate who was always sprinting down the three flights of stairs to catch the bus, because he waited until it was one minute away to run downstairs.
