We didn't actually stay in the room originally reserved, because just a few days before our arrival, our host, Michael, learned that the building was going to have some emergency plumbing work. Michael contacted me immediately and made new arrangements for us: for the first night, we stayed in a nice hotel in the Magnificent Mile, and then we stayed in another Airbnb that he operates around the corner from the original one. This was a large suite in a former speakeasy that he and his son are renovating. There is still some construction work being done, but it is very nicely furnished. Michael made it clear that he would reimburse us for the hotel and indeed he did so as soon as we arrived without any prompting. He was often around to answer any questions or address any problems that might have come up, though none did. He was also very affable without being at all intrusive. Truly a super host. The only knock on the place is that the bar downstairs is quite loud most of the night, especially on weekends. We came to understand why there is a jar of earplugs next to the bed. Otherwise, the location is ideal for exploring Chicago.
