My friend and I had a wonderful time on Michael's private scenic rooftop balcony, with many flowering plants in bloom. In addition, Michael was gracious to let 5 additional friends who live in the Chicago area on to the rooftop for a deep-dish pizza party. We ordered online, went to a local speakeasy bar nearby, then picked up the pizza one hour later (where there was a huge line that we got to skip) to start the rooftop pizza party. Michael set up a table for us on the rooftop and joined us, as well. Michael is an amazing host. His accommodations are artistic-quirky and very unique, as are his interesting stories as an artist. So much more intriguing than staying in a generic hotel. Michael let us keep an apartment key past checkout time so that we could leave our luggage and come back to get it for our evening flights. Highly recommend bars Three Dots and a Dash (tiki-themed bar) and a 1920's speakeasy The Library downstairs from The Gilt bar. They are both a short walk from the Airbnb, as is the Chicago architecture boat tour. I highly recommend Michael's artist loft if you enjoy unique experiences, a scenic rooftop garden, and chatting with an engaging host.
