Michael was great. Met me on the stairs to help my bag up the 5 flights :) He's friendly, welcoming, and quickly responded to any questions both before my arrival and during my stay. Cleared out a space in the fridge for me to store a few items (I was in town for a 4-day conference) and welcomed me to use the kitchen, any of the couches in the loft, the rooftop deck. Loft is an on-going work-in-progress and so aspects of it were a little rough around the edges, but space was safe and clean and Michael's a great host. Bed was comfy--and there were two to choose from! Rooftop deck provided great spot to watch an early spring storm roll across the city. Location couldn't have been better: right downtown and convenient to lake front, river, dining, all the great things Chicago has to offer. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Mike!
