James was very communicative and very accommodating to my boyfriend and I for our stay. We flew in early and he was very helpful to us while waiting on the other guests to check out. The area is nice and I did feel comfortable even walking to the local stores alone and it is a few minutes from the 'L' which was highly convenient for travel around the city and to the airport. Area has many restaurants, cafés and bars within walking distance so you do not need to use much transportation and the DIVVY bikes are near. Place was nice and a good size for two people and the bed was comfortable. Loved the TV and it had netflix which was nice at night. Only minor downside to the location is that there are stairs to get to the apt. but my calves will be toned lol. This is a great stay for a single person or a pair and the area was great and James is an awesome host that is super helpful and sweet. I would stay here again when back in Chicago.
