When I walked in my room I could smell the bouquet of lily of the valley they had left on the dresser for me. It just got better from there. Mat has a beautiful home in a great location, but more importantly, he is a fabulous host. I couldn't have been happier or more comfortable. It was like visiting old friends who just happened to know all the great places to go and all the great things to do. I would never stay anywhere else in Chicago.
