Not much has been said about the area - it's excellent. You're between the lake and Michigan Avenue, the primary shopping district. It can be a little quiet because Northwestern Hospital consumes a lot of the real estate right in that area, but it's a very good area.
As noted, the normal precautions apply, but if there's any risk, it's the same as those in any other big city in the world. Police coverage tends to be pretty good in that area, as well. Enjoy!!
