Jb's place is really adorable. It's well-decorated, quiet, and gets a ton of light. The kitchen is wonderful if you'll be cooking.

It's about four tenths of a mile or so from a Metra (commuter rail) station, which is very convenient, but gets old after a few days if you don't have a car with you (I didn't). It's also just worth noting to those unfamiliar with the area that it's quite far from downtown, about a 45 minute train ride, and that the Metra only runs every hour on weekdays (except at peak times) and less frequently than that on weekends (especially later in the evenings). For that reason, I'd recommend taking a car if it's an option for you.

I didn't say any of that to dissuade you from staying here. Jb was totally sweet and has tons of info on the historic neighborhood of Pullman at the ready -- maps, train schedules, brochures, and even an invitation to a neighborhood chili cook-off that was happening while I was in town.
