Could not praise Mat and Randy enough, they were friendly, welcoming and helpful and made us feel more than at home. Their house is beautiful and they really do make you feel at ease. We especially loved the little touches, like fresh flowers around the house and coffee on a morning. The back garden is wonderful and we enjoyed sitting out in the sun with the cats. The neighbourhood is great - lots of shops, restaurants, bars and coffee houses. Its very easy to get into downtown Chicago, about a 10 min walk to the CTA subway stop 'Argyle', with bus stops also close by. We hope to be back sometime soon, what an amazing city Chicago is and what wonderful hosts!
