If you are like me a sociable person and you prefer a bit more space than in a boring, standard hotel room then THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE ! Personally, lofts are my favorite kind of housing. Michael's is very interesting, hundreds of things to see in it and perfectly situated in down town Chicago. Everything is within walking distance, bars, restaurants, shopping, sightseeing, you name it. As this loft has 2 "rooms" to rent, you are likely to meet other guests (which is great if you are open minded to getting to know other people - I even went out for some drinks with the other guest). Michael could be around as well, if you are lucky :-). We didn't have much time together but he is very easy going and I bet he's got loads of stories to tell. Next time ;-)
Neighborhood is very lively, as described in the add. If you want to feel the Chicago vibes, this is the right spot. If you prefer silence and absolute privacy, you might want to look for something else.
I had a great time ! Thanks
