Dan was an attentive and responsive host; when we had trouble with the check in all we had to do was call him and he was there in a few minutes to fix it. The place is in a great location, very quiet, just a block away from the Blue Line, and so quick access to the Loop and elsewhere. There is breakfast, good coffee, and a grocery store nearby. Intuit, a great underknown art museum devoted to self-taught artists is nearby, -- though we did not visit it, I have many times before and would recommend it.
We came to town for college visits for my son after first visiting family on the far South Side. It was very convient to stay in the city for our visits and it was great to spend time together in a chill place.
