I stayed here primarily because I am too cheap to pay what the Westin was charging for rooms while I attended a conference there. Even with the discount, it was easily 3x the cost of this room.
It would be fair to say that I am not comfortable in cities. I hate congested driving and high-density anything. To be in the middle of Chicago, way up in the air put me a bit out of my element (let alone driving through the gauntlet making my way to/through Chicago). Matthew is very laid-back, and was able to make me instantly comfortable. Since this was only my second Airbnb experience, and I think it's a bit weird staying in someone else's house, making me comfortable was no small feat.
The apartment is quite nice, and well furnished. The view is intense (I'm used to staying on the ground). He has everything one might need ready for the guests, from tourist flyers to a very equipped bedroom with private bath. The shower had ample pressure and was nice and hot! Best of all, the bed was superb! Even the pillows were awesome. There was a TV in the room with Netflix. I don't have access normally, so it was a treat getting to binge watch 'The Office'. The location couldn't have been better. I was only about 1 1/2 blocks from the conference. Anything you could want was nearby.
Would I recommend a friend or family member stay here when visiting downtown Chicago? Absolutely!
