Ion and his lovely family were wonderful hosts who made my week long Chicago trip truly memorable. Probably some of the nicest people I have stayed with. The room is comfortable, clean and spacious. They were gracious enough to offer me dinner multiple times throughout and I got to eat some awesome paella and pizza. Since the room is in the lower storey, the roof creaks a bit when people walk on the floor above. However it didn't disturb me much since they seem to be early sleepers. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and safe. It is also within walking distance of the McCormick place and reasonably well connected to downtown. I would whole heartedly recommend Ion's home to anyone looking for a good home to stay in Chicago.
