John is an EXCELLENT host and this loft is AMAZING. If you are traveling to Chicago with a group this is the place to stay! We had a group of 7 in the loft and there was plenty of space and lots of room to socialize. John was VERY helpful before and during our stay. He was quick to respond if we had any questions or needed recommendations for restaurants etc. He also had a bottle of wine waiting for us, along with breakfast foods for the morning...Cannot say enough good things about our stay! I would definitely book it again! Highly recommended!
