Michael's place was perfect for our visit to Chicago. It is in RiverNorth, steps away from great food, within walking distance of the Grand red line and just North of the riverwalk. His place has a expansive roof-top deck that is filled with plants, flowers, and birds (perfect for a takeout brunch) that was worth the 5-story climb to get there. Note that common-space noises can be heard from the bedroom. We found the available microwave useful.
