My guests and I enjoyed staying at JB's flat. There was plenty of parking for our rental car. I took the Metra into downtown Chicago for one day and it was really easy. The ride up and back to Pullman was enjoyable and much more comfortable than the Bay Area's BART or Muni.

The neighborhood was relatively quiet. at night, but the walls and windows are thin. There is a school across the street, so you could hear the bell ring if you stay at the flat during the daytime on the weekdays. This did not a problem for us at all.

The space was charming with lots of artwork and art objects. I studied fine arts in college and this is the type of space I love because the art was quirky or just simple and naturalistic.

I enjoyed the historical significance of the neighborhood and the friendly community members. During morning or evening walks, people would greet me. I'm sure people thought I was weird when I took photos of the church and random houses, but no one discouraged me from doing so.

We stayed at the flat for a week and we cooked breakfast over the stove every morning. There was a sense of calm as I made coffee and enjoyed some of the local honey. The local honey was delicious, too! After our meals, I liked washing dishes in the spacious kitchen sink. This definitely felt like home.

I would definitely stay here again. JB was great and very accommodating. He followed-up with us during the week to make sure we were comfortable and he was available to answer any questions or concerns.
