We absolutely LOVED Michael's place. If you are looking to have a Chicago visit in a beautiful neighborhood instead of a touristy hotel, you'll want to stay here. It's walking distance to great shopping and restaurants on Armitage, and a quick hop on the brown line will get you anywhere in the city. (You'll get a a real Chicago experience!) Though the neighborhood is lively, the street itself is safe and quiet. Michael's place is spotless and comfortable with plenty of space for a couple or girls' trip. Since we had driven from Ohio, the fact that there is a designated parking spot for guests was essential! Communication was clear and quick, and Michael went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant stay. I would definitely book this place again and plan to recommend this place to all friends visiting the city.
