Brian's place meets the written description perfectly, but surpasses expectations in terms of the little touches and the vibe of the entire experience. Great communication, lots of surprisingly helpful and welcoming little touches, and an overall sense of warmth and welcome, even with no one present for our self check-in. Great location, safe and easy parking, and easy access to transportation make this a perfect location for a quick college visit, or a longer stay to explore Chicago. Highly recommend and would stay again.
