This is a great place to stay! I stopped here on a cross-country trip back home. Neighborhood is very quiet, but also a short drive/transit ride to downtown. Paul has a wealth of knowledge on local spots and has it all in the welcome binder. Bed was very comfy. We did hear some footsteps from his dog upstairs, but this wasn't a big deal at all. Would definitely recommend Paul's place to anyone looking to stay in the Chicago area!
