Don't stay on the South side (even Hyde Park which is gorgeous is just too isolated and far away).
Anywhere from the Loop up on the Red Line all the way to Berwyn is fine (though Uptown has its less nice blocks still), though you probably want to stay no further north than about Wilson if you can. Anywhere on the blue line out to Irving Park also fine, but again probably don't want to stay further out than that just for convenience.
West Loop itself is cool now, but wouldn't stay too much further out than that on the Green or Blue (going west), just not a huge amount going on.
Depends on your budget but I'd personally try to stay in Old Town, Near North, Wicker Park, Lincoln Park type areas.
