The Penthouse at Steve's place is a great space for you to unwind and sleep while you're visiting Chicago. It's super easy to get to via Public Transportation, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby, and the space itself is awesome. The penthouse is its own floor and has a beautiful outdoor deck where you can see views of the skyline or relax and get some fresh air. Steve's neighborhood was quiet and safe and we walked around at night with no issue. Steve is extremely thoughtful, helpful, and nice- he allowed one of our party to arrive/check-in early because our flight was cancelled from another place. He also got us new towels, has a coffee maker/microwave/fridge/sink in the space, and the natural light in the penthouse is outstanding. The new bed is also very comfy.
Steve is also very good about communication and even left a little information sheet for us of local amenities/helpful info. If you are looking for a place to stay on a trip to Chicago and have a chance to stay here, you won't regret it.
