James was very accommodating with me. We communicated several times over my late check-in, and I was able to get there a few minutes early, which was great.

He showed me around the place, explained the house rules, and than was off, leaving me to my own little studio apartment in Chicago.

This is a very well laid out studio with everything you need. Wifi, a small kitchen, nice bathroom, and a very comfortable bed. There were hangers in the closet, and I did help myself the next morning to two scopes of coffee for my portable French press.

This place is warm and snug, very close to the lake, and perfect for what I needed, which was a room after going to a show near Lincoln and Fullerton. I took the bus, however it's a few short blocks from the El, which was in the direction of where I was going that night.

There are close amenities nearby, a bank, a restaurant and bar, additional bus stops, and plenty of taxis if you are into that sort of thing.

Checkout was super easy. I'm a seasoned traveler and have paid up to 400 dollars a night for a room that was not half as nice as having my own place. I would recommend this to anyone, and will most definitely be staying at Jame's place in the future.
