It's a family home with young children and has a very comfortable laid back feel. That worked perfect for me. Ion and his wife are both genuine, warm, welcoming, and generous. There kiddos are sweet and their dog, Nico was very friendly. The house is beautiful and in a great location to the museum campus and the lake shore. I had initially planned to bike along Lake Michigan. Their home was just a few minutes drive from the lake shore. Ion even offered his wife's bike, but I actually had brought my own. Due to rain, I ended up going to Chicago Institute of Art, which was a short drive. I explored Millennium park after it stopped raining and grabbed dinner. Ion's home is in a great proximity to everything I wanted to do in Chicago. Due to rain, I did drive to all the locations I wanted to see, but I do recommend biking if weather permits just because it's a great way to see that area of Chicago. I was only there for a night, but the bed was comfortable, the downstairs room and bathroom are nice and private since they are on a separate level. Ion offered me coffee in the morning and wine in the evening and access to anything else I wanted to eat. Ion also carried my luggage for me which I thought was a really nice gesture.
