It's a bit difficult to follow up on the other rave reviews because they have already described it so well. This was our first experience with airbnb.com and I hope future places are as cool as this! It was so nice to stay in someone's home on an out-of-town trip. You feel much more responsible and caring than at a hotel. The breakfast food he put out for us was thoughtful. We brought food and cooked the whole weekend, and the kitchen was outstanding. My boyfriend loved all the art pieces tastefully placed here and there. He was inspired with JB's perspective of how he sees art in the world around us. Yet it was so refreshing to be in a place uncluttered by the junk so many of us seem to accumulate.

The neighborhood was other worldly, oddly situated in an industrial area yet almost 100% historically intact. It was quiet and beautiful. The architecture was refreshing after being in urban areas with vacant lots and/or modern architecture my whole life. We walked around and went to the Pullman visitor's center, stopped at the corner store. I had the best barbacoa from that store (watch out Chipotle). The organic/indie/non-hipster/cultural vibe in the neighborhood was awesome.

We are definitely coming back here next time we come to Chicago. Thanks JB!
