For our first Airbnb experience, staying with Mat and Randy has set the bar very high. Their home is indeed the perfect location for a visit to Chicago! Mat and Randy are the most welcoming hosts you can imagine, and their beautiful home and garden are the perfect respite from the busy city. We spent some relaxing time in their amazing backyard oasis, marveling at the variety of birds that visit throughout the day. Our room was very quiet and comfortable. We were fortunate to meet some of Mat and Randy's interesting friends and check out a few of the excellent restaurants in their neighborhood (Hopleaf and Anteprima especially). Convenient to everything, priced right, amazing hosts, lovely home and garden... what more could you ask for? We will stay with Mat and Randy again on our next visit to Chicago!
