John's place was perfect for our group of 11 to spend a weekend in Chicago. The pictures and description are exactly as advertised and the space itself is very comfortable for a large group. The location is in the heart of Old Town, with easy access to bars, shopping, and the subway. The amenities are well-kept up and John clearly does an excellent job of maintaining the space and making it feel like home. Very communicative and available from check-in to check out. The main space is excellent for watching movies, TV, and hanging out together as a group. Given the chance to come to Chicago again with a large group, I would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend John as a host.
