My best friend and I came for Pitchfork Music Festival and stayed at Matthew's place for the weekend.
The apartment is in the basement (doesn't feel like basement) of a stand-alone home in a quiet and clean neighborhood. It's walking (or short drive) distance to a Walgreen's and other places if you want groceries or forgot something for your trip. There is a Lyft bike rental station right down the street, right next to the entrance to a beautiful walking/biking trail that we used to get downtown.
The place itself was clean and just super cool! Amazing attention to detail and design. As a nurse with many of my colleagues choosing to travel to other cities to work, I'd certainly suggest this place as a home-away-from-home if working a contract in Chicago.
The only thing that may be an issue for some is that the ceiling is very thin and every sound- conversations, footsteps, and a grumpy toddler- was audible throughout the day. Very quiet at night, but if you like to sleep in past 0700 or have to sleep during the day, I'd suggest ear plugs or a good white noise machine.
