What an amazing find! Latrice is a natural host - bubbly, welcoming, and there for anything you need. She was incredibly accommodating and responsive during my stay.
The house is fantastic! The living room gets lots of natural light, and the bedrooms all stay dark when the curtains are drawn. There’s great temperature control throughout the house; it was super comfortable even though it was in the 90s outside! The neighborhood is friendly and quiet; we slept well! Two of the bathrooms are inside their respective bedrooms, so you still get privacy even with a full house. The other bathroom is directly across the hall from its corresponding bedroom.
There’s a security system to arm / disarm when you leave / enter the house. There’s also only one set of keys, which wasn’t an issue for my group at all.
I primarily walked to and from the University of Chicago; the walk up Ellis Ave is a particularly scenic route.
Thank you so much again to Latrice for your hospitality
