Matthew was a great host! It was easy to communicate with him and he responds very quickly. We were 5 staying at the loft and there was plenty of room for everyone. I especially enjoyed having an open space so you can cook and chat with everyone at the same time. Comfortable bed and sofa bed, clean and large bathroom, and proximity to train(blue line) and bus stop will assure you a pleasant stay. Tip for someone who is not use to sleep in a noisy city like Chicago, you will find earplugs and more at the CVS just in front.
