Matthew's place was overall an amazing experience. True to the photos, this stylish home is full of contemporary artwork and plenty of character to boot. It's spacious, in an excellent location (down the street from great restaurants, grocery store, coffee, right next to the blue line which goes directly to the airport), and has a great view. For us, we were looking for a place to sleep and spend time together with our friends that we traveled with and to eat out. This place was great for that situation. However, if you plan on spending a decent amount of time in this apartment, I would recommend finding another place. There's no TV in the living room and the place is not particularly cozy. On that note, why would you travel to Chicago and cook yourself and watch tv??
