My review mirrors what all the previous ones have said. Yes, there are a lot of steps- 82 to be exact, but there is a chair about half way up if you need to rest. Since it’s in a very lively area of River North, it is loud on the weekends but a large bedside supply of soft earplugs block out the noise. The garden is spectacular, the bed is incredibly comfortable, the bathroom is huge, and very well equipped. Michael is one cool cat. He has provided everything a traveler might need and makes you feel right at home. Even though, it is a space shared with Micheal and other guests, we had complete privacy. Fabulous location with tons of restaurants, bars, etc, a couple blocks from the L as well as the River Walk. The rooftop garden is a colorful oasis and the perfect place to relax in the midst of the busy city. It is utterly enchanting at night.
It is a unique shared space filled with art, furnishings, and decor that are a throwback in time. It was a very nontypical accommodation and experience and we we loved it.
