We rented John's loft for our stay in Chicago during the National Restaurant show. John met me on the first day of our stay to give me a tour and share some of the cool amenities of the home, of which there are many. The common area is very, very spacious, which provided more than enough space for morning meetings over breakfast. There are multiple bedrooms hidden throughout. The master suite and attached bedroom are unbelievable. Very elegant. We were able to accommodate eight people very comfortably.

During our stay, we hosted a private event for approximately 120 people. The layout of the loft was perfect to allow a buffer area for greeting and security before walking into the open space. Our event producer lit the beams and brick walls wonderfully...it was beautiful. The bar and kitchen were both very functional for our party needs.

Besides the space, John was an unbelievably accommodating host. He checked in every morning to make sure we were comfortable and ask whether we needed anything. When we did need something (baking pans), he was super quick to accommodate. His knowledge of Logan Square and surrounding areas was helpful. He sent me a text of a dozen or so restaurants and bars to check out in the area. The area has a lot of great gems.

One last note...despite being in the middle of the city, the loft has two fantastic outdoor areas. A courtyard just off the main living area and a massive rooftop deck that was a favorite of our crew.

Can't say enough about our stay for both lodging and event hosting perspective. We will absolutely be back.
