The house is in beautiful neighborhood- there is a beach and Park in walkable distance. If you are there for conference at McCormick place then it’s perfect place as it is so close to this place.There is bus stop few blocks away but we didn’t use it. We used Uber and it costs $30 /day on an average to and fro downtown.
Room we stayed was in basement - it had 1 queen bed with closet and book shelf attached to wall. Not much of walking space within room - small with a window. Bathroom is right opposite the room. There were play/ tv room and another room ( I guess was laundry room) in the basement. Size of the room was not a problem for us as we will be out whole day.
Ion and his family were good, warm and friendly people. You will definitely feel home away from home. My son and Ion’s kids were of same age and they played together in the morning/evening when we were at home.
Overall it was a good stay.
