We didn't manage to meet with Matt in person, but he made sure we get all the information and guidance needed for a smooth check-in process. The apartment itself looks clean and well maintained. The only minor complaint that I have is the walkway from the main entrance of the entire building to the apartment itself. It is poorly lit and dirty, but I think it is out of Matt's control becuz that's outside of his apartment. The room is spacious enough for two people. Nonetheless, my friend and I do agree that the sound proofing is pretty bad as we could hear people chatting in the room next to us. There is a pantry area in the apartment if you need to make some/reheat food, which is pretty convenient. The bathroom is okay and it is shared by two rooms in the apartment (that's 4 people), but we didn't encounter any issues with this during our stay though. The apartment is situated 5 minutes walk away from a train station, and there is also bus station nearby, so transportation should not be a problem. All in all, if u need a cheap, short stay in Chicago, and you can get over the things I mentioned earlier, then I would definitely recommend you to stay at Matt's apartment.
