We had a great stay at Joe's place. 7 of us stayed for a girls weekend and the accommodations were great. There was plenty of space for all of us and the beds were comfortable.
The communication prior to check in could be improved as I called three times before getting a response. Once I did make contact the check in process was a breeze and the place was exactly as pictured. The location is great if you want to be in Chicago without being downtown. There are great bars, places to eat, little cafe's and nice parks. Its about a 10-15 min drive to most of the downtown Chicago attractions and popular spots.
Two things that could be improved is lighting in the downstairs bathroom, and more mirrors. With 7 ladies it was hard to get ready! Also, the communication needs to be better. During our stay there was a broken window and when I called I was told it would be fixed that day. It was not fixed and I am unsure if it ever was as we left the next day
Overall, I would def recommend this place for a comfortable, affordable spot in Chicago!
