Paul's place was perfect for us as a base to explore Chicago from, it had all the facilities we needed, and a super comfortable bed! Our daughter and her husband had stayed here before, and recommended it, and I'm glad they did so! Paul is very friendly, and was great to communicate with before and during our visit. Paul lives upstairs, but you have separate entrance and privacy. Paul met us on arrival, and gave us heaps of useful tips for things to see and places to eat in the area. Checking out was easy.
Unit is downstairs via a narrow spiral staircase, so may not suit you if you need super-easy access or have issues with stairs.
Bucktown is a really neat area, lots of eateries and bars nearby, buses and trains (blue line) within easy walking distance (5-10 mins). Felt very safe walking in this neighborhood, day and night. Real easy to get between Paul's place and the airport with the direct link from the Blue line.
Happily recommend this place for a comfortable and convenient spot away from, yet handy to the city.
