Magnificent place to stay in Chicago! Matt is intelligent, hospitable and very relaxed. The living spaces are *genuinely* open to guests and are relaxing and chic. The private rooftop deck with breathtaking views of the city and elegant furniture cannot be overstated. Rumble, the dog, is sweet, a real charmer. Noise from the "L" train is audible but was never a problem for us. Access to the subway red line is an easy walk. Great restaurants, wine and food shopping nearby. An outstanding Chicago experience close to Old Town and the Loop.
