Matt's place was great and Matt seemed like an efficient host. The one issue we had is that we were staying there during a cold snap (it was in the 30's in April) and Matt's heating system does not heat the downstairs living room at all. I reached out to Matt about this several times but he said there was nothing he could do about it (which was admittedly a little disappointing, he wouldn't even provide a space heater) - so if you are planning to be in Chicago when it's cold and the downstairs living room is a space you are counting on, be aware that it gets very cold. The bedroom down there was fine - never toasty but not freezing. The rest of the unit got nice and warm and overall I thought was exactly as we expected based on the photos. We had a nice stay.
