We stayed with Ion as we were in town for a visit to Illinois Institute of Technology (10 mins. walk). The home is situated on a quiet street filled with similar period homes. Ion was kind enough to pick us up at the CTA train station, which was much appreciated. We were warmly welcomed into his character-filled family home and we enjoyed our private space (bedroom/bathroom/small living room) on the ground floor. Ion was a great host ... both interested and interesting and he made excellent European coffee for us! We wouldn't hesitate to stay again in the future.
