Michael is a good man, and he is a very friendly host. We had a good experience with this AirBnB, and thought the actual physical space was a bang for our buck! It is within a short walking distance to the nearest bus stop, and the view of
the Chicago skyline is something special. but I feel obliged to share two facts of our stay with future suitors:
1. This particular room in Michael’s home seems to be his actual bedroom. The second bedroom is an additional room on AirBnB for rent as well. I had not encountered this before. Michael slept on the couch during our stay, and I found that to be different than other shared spaces we have stayed. It sort of made us feel like we were inconveniencing Michael (although he by no means made it feel that way).
2. The room we stayed in was 79-80 degrees throughout the stay. Michael was very friendly and was kind enough to buy us a fan for the room, but the room temperature persisted to stay near 80 during majority of the day. If you are traveling during the summer months, you will want to be prepared.
Despite these two small factors, we enjoyed our experience.
