Matthew and Jamal are exceptional hosts.
Matthew provided me with very detailed check-in and check-out messages. During my stay, he was very helpful and responsive to my questions/messages. We had some great conversations and they both have very interesting stories. Jamal even offered me a few cocktails that he made on my last day.
Their house is located in a convenient neighborhood in Chicago. It’s walking distance to cafes, great bars & restaurants (steps away from a few really great Mexican places). It’s also a 10 mins drive/uber ride to downtown tourist attractions.
Their house looks modern and seems like it’s newly remodeled. It’s very spacious so I was able to have a lot of privacy downstairs. The room I was staying in was clean and the bed was very comfortable.
Traveling can be stressful but I felt I was well rested at their place. I will stay with them again next time when I’m in Chicago!
