1st Off - I will definitely stay here again. It is my 1st choice. I've stayed at 3 AirBnB's in Chicago and this was the best experience. The location for the price is just outstanding! He is located right in the middle of the restaurant district. It is just a few blocks from the Brown Line and Red Line subway stations so commuting is very easy.
The room is large and has Italian cotton sheets. Michael is an artist so the place has tons of artwork and decorations.
As the manager states - they are rehabbing the place and this will take quite a while. There is construction material, paint, etc... The place had been a frat house, so the manager is fixing it up one step at a time.
The two items Michael said he's adding are knock out curtains because the street lights are bright and a desk in the room he rents. These will be great additions.
The place is on the 2nd and 3rd story of their building. The room is on the 2nd floor.
Here are some things to consider. The location is awesome and very busy. You will hear street noise till 11pm to midnight and sometimes much later. I have a white noise maker on my phone and I turned up it all the way to drown out the city noise. Maybe bring earplugs also. Second, as mentioned, there are bright street lights that shine right into the room all night. Bring eye covers. Lastly there are two bathrooms that they are also fixing up and the door on the 3rd floor bathroom doesn't shut or lock. Michael is fixing that. This place is well worth these hassles and I'll be back - Again and Again!
