This is by far, the best Airbnb we have ever stayed at. Not only was the location amazing, but the whole atmosphere and theme of the hotel/hostel and our room was incredible. Michael and his son have worked really hard to renovate the space and with the renovation, they're creating an entire experience for the guests. The space is bright, warm, and welcoming with a touch of artistic eccentricity. He responded quickly to our inquiries and allowed us to bring our pet along, which was a huge relief as this allowed us to leave her in our room while we toured the city. We were fortunate enough to book room 1B, which honestly, has the best shower/brazilian-styled wet room I've ever had the fortune of using! The shower was an experience of its own. They also included complimentary toiletries such a q-tips, razors, make-up wipes, and amazing shampoo, conditioner and lotion! And to top it all off, at the end of our stay we were able to meet Michael himself and we received a grand tour of the hotel/hostel, and all the work that he has put into it and continues to put into it really shows - with the plans for themed rooms that give the sensation that you're in a different place in a different era, the recommendations around the area, the a/c, wi-fi, the morning coffee offered by his son, and the complimentary toiletries. If we're ever in Chicago again, we're definitely staying here!
