Our studio loft was exactly what we expected from the advertisement and we were extremely pleased with our accommodations. James organized easy check-in and check-out, all at our convenience even though he couldn't be there. The neighbourhood is wonderful (very safe) with lots of small shops, restaurants, places to pick up groceries, and access to mass transit. The location is less than 1/2 mile from the Lincoln Park access to the Chicago Lakefront Trail (18 miles of running/walking/biking trail along the lake). In all ways James' place was the perfect fit for us and we would definitely look to stay here again when back in Chicago. James provided excellent directions for finding his place and was most helpful answering all of our questions. All appreciated.
