If you're looking for 1) affordability, 2) convenience, & 3) accessibility, Michael is the host you should definitely consider booking under in Chicago, IL. My girlfriend and I were able to check in with ease, receive a tour of the facility, and revisit the rules/regulations of his space. The space was clean for the duration of our stay and the rooftop access is a plus if you're looking for an amazing view of the city.
1) The price for the space is unbeatable for the total value you'll realize while in the city (very helpful for college students/people on a tight budget).
2) Michael's space is conveniently located next to a grocery store, the United Center (Chicago Bulls), a gas station, and an array of fast food restaurants. He is also willing to offer transportation services (cash only) if you request ahead of time. The space is also very secure, and there is currently free street parking within walking distance.
3) The best part of Michael's location, is that it is roughly about a 10 minute walk to the CTA Train Station, which will get you to major attractions downtown (and pretty much anywhere) for about $15 if you download the Ventra app and select the 3 day pass.
Michael will keep you engaged throughout your stay and will provide you with plenty of information about things to do in Chicago (everything from restaurants, activities, etc.). He communicates very quickly and provides great context about your inquiries. He can most often be found in the living room, so if you feel like going out to chat, he is there to answer any questions you may have. The space is definitely a great option for those who enjoy going out through the day, and then coming back in to crash in the evenings.
Overall, I give both Michael and his space a 5/5 and highly recommend him for others looking to visit Chicago.
