Michael's Place is located in the Northwest side of Chicago. The Jefferson Park El station was under construction when we visited, but otherwise anyone staying here could easily forgo car rental. However, if you need a car, parking is easy peasy.
Michael will send a personal code to enter the house and your room about a day in advance. Check in and out was very easy. Michael was a great host, with quick replies to any questions. They're was a bag of gummy bears waiting for us in the room. WiFi was strong.
We had access to the kitchen and living room. The bedroom had a closet and double bed. The bed was nice and firm. The shared bathroom was newly remodeled.
