Let me start by saying I would recommend James's apartment in Chicago to anyone looking for a great value location outside of the city.
James was great when I realized I wouldn't be able to make our sheduled meeting for check in, and he arranged for a secure lock box and easy access after-hours to his apartment. I was really grateful for this.
A couple of things worth mentioning; don't be put off by the appearance of the foyer and stairs when you arrive because James's apartment is in an older style building. The apartment itself is clean and presentable.
The bed was comfortable.
The bathroom was clean but make sure James explains how to use the shower because I struggled a bit. I seemed only to be able to get really hot water. I know there were instructions to turn the tap in the opposite direction, but I couldn't get that to work. I'm sure you can. The bathroom was clean.
Thanks for having me James.
I hope I can stay again sometime.
