My wife and I visited Chicago over a long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Ion and Shannon were very gracious hosts and went out of their way to make us feel welcome during our stay. Ion provided us with excellent restaurant recommendations and offered us samples of the wine that he imports, and Shannon greeted us each morning with delicious cups of coffee. We enjoyed getting to know our hosts, meeting their delightful children, and hearing the story of the old house that they have remodeled. The room is on a private downstairs level and the house is conveniently located about 15 minutes walk from the red and green line "L" stops on the Illinois Tech campus. It was very easy for us to get out to downtown restaurants and to go to the theatre. Ion and Shannon provided us with keys so that we could enter and leave when we needed to. All in all, this was a very pleasant place to stay.
