When we arrived, we were let in and shown around. Ion offered us something to drink and took us downstairs to our space. It was a lovely house, and we had the ground floor with a bathroom, sitting room, and bedroom to ourselves.

The neighborhood is pretty and near the Illinois Institute of Technology. There are a couple of bus routes that take you into downtown within a 3-5 minute walk, and the Green L train is about a 15 minute walk away.

Ion and his family went out of their way to talk to us, get to know us, and just feel welcome. We highly recommend them.
