John is an excellent host! My girlfriend Melissa and I were moving to Chicago. We had a two week delay between getting to the city and the apartment being ready. So, in our first try of airbnb we were looking for a location that would give a better understanding of the city as well as fitting our budget. John's Tudor home fit the plan. Located in the Dunning area we were a 15 mins cab ride, 30 mins bike ride, and 20 train ride from O'Hare. To Downtown was an hour bike ride,16 -20 cab, and a 30 train ride. In between was everything a local would want to view in Chicago. Locals bars, parks, restaurants, from wicker park to logan square to Wrigleyville. All within reach! Without having to deal with the traffic and noise of the big city life. John's approach to household guests is one of the best I've ever dealt with. His knowledge of the city and other surrounding neighborhoods guides you to a comfortable setting where you feel welcomed to explore. We came in to his place at all times of the night and never felt like we intruded or were unwelcomed. Yes, the neighborhood was quiet like a suburb with big city feel. John's house was clean, well lit, comfortable, and had a occasional visit from a very cute rabbit in the backyard. I would like to refer to this man as a friend more than the host, i would recommend this listing to anyone who is looking for the description I have laid out. Enjoy your stay at the Tudor home and explore as much as you want.
P.S. While at cafe prague (a block away) try the mushroom soup....you will not be disappointed!
