We stayed at Matt's place over 4th of July holiday. It is a nice place to stay for a good value. The place is definately no frills, but clean, quiet, and comfortable. Matt was a wonderful host and really effective communicator. He made sure we got in alright and that the apartment was in order. He provided some recommendations on local food spots. He also allowed us to keep our bags at the place after checking out so we could hit up a museum before our flight.
Also, the Pilsen neighborhood is awesome! There are a lot of great restaurants, cafes, and bars. His place is conveniently located near public transit (also, ride shares in Chicago are really affordable).
