Josh's place is away from the bustle of the downtown area but still close enough to get there in a hurry by car or bike. I really like that his place was a short walk to the city's divvy bike share docking station. There are plenty of options around for food and coffee within walking distance and it is also near a local university and the beach. Josh's place is quiet and has a large living area right out side the room that is good for relaxing before a night out. The room was spacious enough for two people with plenty of closet storage space for all your bags . Josh and his roommate were very friendly and sociable. I told him Id be on the look out for his place on my next trip to Chicago.
