This was an extraordinary AirBnB experience. Michael is generous, hospitable, friendly, personable, and helpful. He clearly loves having guests and helping them have a great time. He lets you leave your luggage at his place after checkout so you can enjoy your last day in chicago luggage-free. His AirBnB has the vibe of a cross between a plant conservatory, an art gallery, and a flapper jazz lounge.
A couple of down sides: The AirBnB is not very quiet at night. The heating system was unusually loud as was the antics going on in the street outside. He also plays jazz music at all hours, although relatively quietly. Also, the pictures make the place seem a bit more finished than it actually is. Expect a lot of quirks and not especially finished spaces.
