Joe was friendly and helpful with questions we had while visiting Chicago. The Place is close to the train station, food, bars, and groceries. It was a good experience to stay in a real neighborhood instead of a hotel. We got to experience the "city life." The neighborhood seemed safe, even at 2AM. The house has an open concept layout which accommodated 9 adults and 3 kids comfortably. We would definitely stay again if we revisited Chicago.
