I lived for two months (September and October 2013) in Matt and Randy's house and felt exactly like my home. Cozy living room, optimally equipped kitchen (I used it a lot), comfortable room, beautiful garden and great neighborhood. As a reward, a bike that gave me great rides by the lake.
Next to the CTA Red Line and several bus lines, the Andersonville offers good restaurants (Italian, Japanese, Persian, Algerian, vegetarian, Thai, just to name a few), just five minutes walking from Matt and Randy's house. The neighborhood is beautiful, safe, and friends or families who sometimes visited them were lovely. I became friends with some and hope one day to receive them in my city, in Brazil.
I am deeply grateful to Matt and Randy, always respectful, polite, and did everything to make me well. Matt and Randy' hospitality, their house, and neiborhood exceeded all of my best expectations.
I strongly indicate them to anyone who wants an enjoyable stay in Chicago. It was my first time in Airbnb and in the following week I stayed in a hotel in Canada and already missed one that was my home for two months.
I had no sympathy for cats, but today I miss Dugan, a friendly cat who stayed with me when Matt and Randy traveled.
Thank you so much guys and sorry about my English.
