Michelle's place is a great value for travelers on a budget. The check-in process was fairly simple. There is a lot of space for guests to sleep, but the entrance and the ceilings are pretty low, so it may be difficult for very tall people. Michelle provided many guide maps and brochures about the city, as well as some snacks and other amenities. The bed we slept in was a futon with a memory foam cover. It was very comfortable, but a little small. Again, it may be difficult for very tall people. The place is a 10-15 minute walk to the Blue Line, providing easy access to the downtown Loop area and O'Hare airport. Free wifi is provided, but the coverage is spotty at times. The neighborhood is very nice and has a lot to offer.
