Michael provided the best experience I’ve had with Airbnb. Some of the highlights:
*great location. 5 minutes walking distance from the House of Blues, 15-20 to Michigan Avenue, and 20-25 to Millennium Park.
*clean, comfortable, and unique with a view. The bed is super comfortable, the bathroom is large and clean, and the apartment is filled with all sorts of treasures that Michael is more than willing to share the story behind.
*Michael himself is great. He’s kind and makes sure you have everything you need. I was waiting in line for a couple hours in the snow for a concert, and he gave my friend a blanket and sports chair to bring to me so that I would be comfortable. In the mornings, he made us espresso and we had a great time talking about Chicago, his art, and the best places to go thrifting.
This is one Airbnb that I will stay at again. I hope to come back in the summer when all the flowers on his porch are blooming!
Two things to note (though not necessarily negative):
*you have to walk up 5 flights of stairs to get to the apartment.
*it’s a lively street at night, so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
