If you book this place, you're in for a treat. The location in the River North section is about two blocks from the river and the new River Walk and about 4 blocks from CTA's Loop. The Orange Line which is a direct line to Midway Airport has a stop there. There are enough bars, restaurants, architecture and history in just this little area to keep you busy for days. And Michael has a great insight and tips for all of it, as he's been in this location for 28+ years. Now, it is a five-story walk-up, no elevator!, but the patio-deck that opens up to the surrounding skyline makes up for the vertical trek. Michael also has a lot of bathroom amenities (if you forgot toothpaste, etc) and coffee and bottled water available for his guests. There's also a ton of artwork that makes his place unique. I'd definitely book this place again.
