I can't say enough about how incredible our stay at Michael's was. First of all the space was so freakin' cool! Between the art and plants inside the studio, and the vintage collectible items he has on display, it was one of the most unique Airbnb's I've ever been to. Then there's the rooftop. Not only is it a botanist's dream up there, but it's super comfortable and a perfect area to relax and absorb the city vibe, any time of day. Mike was also an incredible host. He made sure the space was clean at all times and I had a great time conversing with him about the city and about his passion for the work he and his son have put into restoring the building to make sure his guests get the best experience possible. As a Chicago native myself I can tell you that if you're visiting the city for the first time, this is definitely where you want to stay. The location is perfect, anything you'd want is accessible via foot. And Mike is the perfect host to provide you with tips for touristy activities, nightlife, restaurants etc.
