Luke's place really is the best in Chicago! His basement is set up as an apartment- quiet and private. I had my own key so I could come and go as I pleased. The location was great. You are two blocks from the Thorndale stop on the red line, easily taking you downtown or anywhere you wanted to go in the city. And just a few blocks to the beach and Lake Michigan. Not your noisy beach with tons of people; it was people from the neighborhood, walking their dogs, playing soccer, or just taking a stroll by the lake. I would recommend Luke's place to anyone making a trip to Chicago. Forget a hotel, this is 10 times better!
