Ion and his family are wonderful hosts. Very nice and friendly. We had dinner together several times at home and would hang out and chat every night. We were traveling with a baby, and the the whole family played with the baby, which was very helpful to us. Just all around wonderful people to be around. The pets are all very well behaved and our baby loved them. Our flight back got delayed and Ion offered to drop us off at the blue line to take the train to the airport, which was super helpful and we are incredibly grateful for. Would stay here again if we visit Chicago again.
