James was in regular (but not intrusive) contact via text. He left a key for us in a lock box and gave us flexibility for our check out time. He also gifted us a bottle of wine.
The room main room is simple, but very nicely decorated. The TV is set up for Netflix, so that was nice. The bathroom is small but adequate with cute retro tile flooring. The kitchen is very small and not yet renovated, but plenty adequate for a short stay.
The location is fantastic: lots of restaurants and cool shopping venues within 2 blocks. We had a long walk to our show, but still relatively close. Parking was expensive, but it's Chicago.
