I highly recommend staying in Historic Pullman for anyone looking for a unique Chicago experience. Jb's studio is located in a safe, friendly neighborhood brimming with history and interesting architecture. The studio itself is clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated with fascinating pieces of art. Jb was a lovely host and even waited up for us after an incredibly late arrival to ensure that we were able to access the studio. The Pullman studio is on Chicago's Southside and is a 7-10 minute walk away from a Metra station, and about 7 minutes away from a CTA bus (which takes you to the subway line), both of which provide access to the Loop within 30 minutes. While staying in Pullman, we were frequently greeted by friendly neighbors. From our impromptu conversations with some of those neighbors and just walking the neighborhood itself, it is evident that residents take so much pride in their community and history, which really was refreshing in a city as big as Chicago.
