If I could give Michael's place a gazillion stars, I would. His place is INCREDIBLE! Lots of natural lighting, airy, and a rooftop deck with breathtakingly gorgeous views of bustling downtown Chicago. I spent 30 minutes sitting outside taking it all in while drinking a glass, maybe 2 of wine. It was very nice, soaking it all in. If you're not a fan of noise, this isn't the place for you. Although it's five stories up from the street, you can still hear the traffic. It's probably not ideal for elderly people or even small children or those who get tired easily from climbing. The set of stairs to his place is truly a workout especially in the heat and humidity.
It's centrally located with so many restaurants, cafes, and stores all around. I think there was a Starbucks right across the street. If I'm ever back in Chicago, this is definitely the place I would love to stay at. Thanks for having me, Michael.
