Could not have wished for anything better than this stay. I stayed for about a month with Ion and his family as a first base after moving from the Netherlands to Chicago. I was warmly welcomed and enjoyed very much their company, while having enough private space as well. Location was perfect: easy to commute to downtown and the University of Chicago and safe. I feel really lucky to have stayed here, as they not only helped me in so many ways to navigate into this new city, but I especially valued that they made me feel like home, so definitely recommended. Other than that, the house is beautiful and it has everything you might need.
