Ion and his wife were so welcoming and accommodating. They offered us wine upon arrival and even lent us their sweaters and coats because it was chillier in Chicago than we anticipated! Ion also made us a yummy Spanish breakfast with toasted bread with olive oil and brie, and great coffee. Their home is beautiful and in a very quiet, safe neighborhood. There is also tons of free parking right in front of their home, which is only minutes from downtown without all the downtown noise. A wonderful place to stay!
