Michael was a perfect host! He greeted my cousin and myself at the door, helped us bring up our bags and gave us a tour of his beautiful loft apartment. We booked the open loft room which we loved! Comfy king sized bed, all the room we needed, fans, tv, it was perfect. He offered us space in the fridge, tooth brushes, clean towels and allowed us to join him on his roof top deck whenever we pleased. His rooftop is a perfect place for a glass of wine or coffee, it over looks a popular street so you can watch the hustle and bustle of Chicago! Michael is extremely knowledgeable about the city and answered any questions we had. His location allows you to walk anywhere, the river walk is literally a few blocks away, you are close to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and a grocery store. If you do drive the parking is expensive but the parkade is only 1 block away from his apartment, and we left the car there the entire time as walking was so convienent. Michael was the best host a person could ask for and I can't wait to stay there again!
