This would be one of the most mind blowing properties one could stay in his / her lifetime. Even if you arent a lover of vintage Victorian artefacts and architecture, you'd fall in live with the warmth and opulence of the house.
We were a group of colleagues here for a medical conference. Not only did Chris wait for us and give us a private tour of his property, he gave us local tips as well. The house is just as the images suggest. Its perhaps even better. Matthew responds real quick and is ready for any help needed.
The only word of caution is the locality. While it isn't completely unsafe, its just at the close boundaries of neighborhoods that are rather disturbed if I may. One of my colleagues was assaulted by a random stranger while he waited for his Uber right outside the property. We reported to the police and are awaiting results of the investigation. As long as one is careful (which I suppose is true in most other localities within Chicago, its a great place to be). Many thanks to Chris for being a wonderful host.
