The 5 stair climb is no lie, so definitely make sure you take it into consideration. So, if you are able to climb those 5 flights, guess what? You will experience a magical space that absolutely makes you feel like you are living a dreamy movie scene set in Chicago. We stayed in the upstairs loft which can be fully enclosed with curtains and becomes fairly private. The bed was comfortable & the airy feeling of being above the rest of the loft was just fantastic.
We ate our lunch the first day on the patio surrounded by sunshine, flowers, and gently chirping birds that visit the feeder Michael fills daily. From the edges of the rooftop you can see down to busy restaurants and bars and as evening falls there is a constant murmur from all the people eating and drinking. It was absolutely delightful to spend the evening on the rooftop enjoying the sights and sounds of the city.
We also had the opportunity to spend an evening chatting with Michael. He was fun to talk to and more than happy to share some of his interesting experiences and artistic visions with you, if that's your sort of thing.
The loft itself really does have an interesting and fun shower, full kitchen access, and tons of curiosities to look at if you want to wander around. This is probably my favorite AirBnB stay so far. 11/10, would stay again.
