I had a quick stay at Michael's because of an unexpected change in travel through Chicago, and it really was wonderful. The host, Michael, was very accommodating both in regard to flexibility with checking in as well as keeping in communication while the weather complicated my arrival. The room itself is cozy, bright, warm in the winter, and creatively decorated. Since the space was under construction when I was there, there were some aspects that could be inconvenient for some travelers: a bit of dust, some noise during the day, a shower that isn't exactly snappy. But, all of that was expected, and so not a problem. It's a great place to stay and, considering its downtown location too, it's pretty perfect.
