We visited Chicago for our family vacation and to catch Hamilton. Matt's place was very clean and pretty much as the pictures indicate.
Communication with Matt was a breeze. We had a running joke that everywhere we went was 30 mins from the house. It was very convenient to get around and from our travels and the places we visited in Chicago, it was pretty much central for our needs.
Safe area. Shops (Walgreens and. Grocery) in close vicinity. Parking was not an issue.
We found a cool neighbourhood pub a few blocks away - The Harding Tavern. We'd visit and stay with Matt again in a heartbeat.
