We loved this place and would definitely return! Jb is a gracious host and a wealth of information about what's around. We stayed at Jb's for a couple of nights at the beginning of a week's vacation in Chicago. We loved the apartment and used it as a base to explore the more southerly sights: University of Chicago, Robie House, Oriental Institute, Museum of Science and Industry. We did not have a car and relied on the Metra trains--very easy. Pullman is a lovely, friendly and quiet community just as Jb describes, and unlike any other part of Chicago we saw on our trip. The local deli mentioned made us some killer steak with potatoes and verde sauce but didn't have everything we needed for making dinner in Jb's spacious kitchen (and backyard grill!) the following night. There is a large Treasure Island grocery store two blocks from the 57th street Metra station near the University, so we picked up what we needed there on our way home. On our way out we stumbled on the Argus brewery, just down the block from the Metra station entrance, and the guys told us that you can call ahead for a tour and tasting--something for next time!
