My family and I just loved our three nights with Jan and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jan was warm, welcoming and concerned for our well being. On the first day she rode her bike alongside us to the train station (that was super close, cheap and easy) so we knew where we were going. Upon our return, Jan was waiting in her car, for she she was worried about us walking back to her place as a storm was fast approaching.
Jan's upstairs penthouse was huge! My son loved his little pull out bed and we loved our space. Having a kitchen was so nice as it gave us a break from restaurant food. It was also so enjoyable to cook and eat breakfast in, as it opened onto the rooftop patio letting in fresh air and loads of light.
On our last morning, Jan invited us down for french toast, fruit and juice-all very healthy and delicious. The best part though was the conversation.
We all loved Chicago and would love to return. If we do, we will definitely be looking to book into Jans. Seeing all the sights in Chicago is a busy day, having Jan's little oasis to come home to, actually made our time there feel relaxing.
Jan's Oakley penthouse is the gold standard of AirBnB!
