Max' s place was exactly as he described and perfect for our end-of-summer foodie trip. Right between two of the best cultural enclaves in Chicago - amazing Mexican food and Chinese food was within walking distance... and just a few stops away on CTA. Artwork, museums, and the nice park on 18street made for an really great way to walk of the calories and see the non-downtown touristy part of the city.
Max was a very gracious and informative host... leading us to a great art festival one night and to a really relaxing water taxi adventure on the Chicago River. This place and the host comes highly recommended.
