Matthew's lovely home is ideally situated on a quiet block in charming Lincoln Park. The combination of sparse, eclectic decor with the old bones of a century-old house creates a welcoming atmosphere consistent with the eclectic neighborhood. The location is unbeatable: even in the wake of a serious snowfall, we had no difficulty making our way on foot to local restaurants and shops (Trader Joe's is a short block away), and also to the nearby "L" station for easy scenic rides into the heart of the city. Matthew provided helpful guidance and parking permits to aid us in keeping our car out of harm's way, offered useful details about the neighborhood, and thoughtfully stocked the rooms with all the essential amenities (including a mini-refrigerator with water and a few welcoming adult beverages). We look forward to returning to Chicago now that we have found our home away from home!
