The location of Dean's place cannot be beat. We had a group of 5 visiting Chicago for a Bachelorette party and it was the perfect home base for a couple nights on the town. Many bars and clubs are within 20 minutes walking distance. When people say there are a lot of stairs (and steep) - do not take that lightly. We are a young, healthy group so we were fine, though I can see how it can make the place pretty inaccessible for some. The amenities could not be beat - there was everything that we needed and more. Dean was very accommodating, getting us a prime parking spot, as well as providing fantastic communication, clear check-in instructions. I would definitely recommend staying with Dean while in Chicago!
