I really enjoyed Michael's place. He is a great host. This is my first time to use Airbnb, but I really was fortunate enough to meet a great host and place. Because of his hosiptaliy, I look forward to making Airbnb as my booking for future trips. The location is perfect for touring Chicago. His place is indeed a hidden gem. His house is full of surprises (plants, arts, etc). Two minor things that could potentially bother are stairs and sounds (if you are sensitive).
