The best thing about Michael's place is absolutely the location. You are right in the heart of River North, with restaurants and bars all around, and just a short walk away from Millenium Park and downtown. It does get a little bit noisy at night (we were there on the weekend), but I had earplugs and didn't have any problem. The bed is big and comfortable, and the new private bathroom in the bedroom is nice and very convenient. Michael was a great host. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and he provided us with recommendations for enjoying our short weekend in Chicago. We will probably be back and wouldn't hesitate to stay with Michael again.
