My husband and I lived in Chicago for 15+ years and recently moved to Los Angeles. We stayed with Randy and Mat on our recent trip back...and I have to say, they reminded us of everything we love and miss about Chicago. You know from the pictures and that the space is gorgeous and impeccable. What the pictures cannot convey is the warmth, hospitality and friendship that is extended to you when you stay with Mat and Randy. They are quite possible the world's most fabulous hosts! We enjoyed mornings with them in their beautiful back yard - neighbors would stop by for a quick cup of coffee. We really felt like we were being welcomed into a community. For anyone who wants to experience Chicago, this is a great place to have an authentic neighborhood experience. Randy and Mat...thanks for making our trip back to Chicago feel like a trip home. Best, Morgan Marzec & Iain Muirhead
