Rebecca really tried to make it feel like home away from home, and went out of her way to help me get to where I needed to go. When I arrived in O'Hare, she came to pick me up at the airport, and drove me all the way to Evanston (where I was going for the day). Then, later in the day, I got on the wrong train going south and went right past the apartment, finally getting off 12 miles south. Rebecca immediately drove, picked me up, and then had dinner ready back home! She's a very kind and helpful lady, and wonderful to talk to, also - I learned a few things about Chicago from her!

The listing description is accurate - the room looks just as in the picture. It's a two-bedroom apartment, and Rebecca lives in the other room. There's also a bathroom, living room, kitchen, and dining room. Rebecca keeps the kitchen stocked with some food if you want a quick snack or want to cook something, and there's also a small grocery shop 4 blocks away. The apartment is a very short walk from University of Chicago, which makes it perfect for visiting academics. It's also very close to the Lakefront trail, if you want to go for a run or walk.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience, and would love to stay with Rebecca again the next time I visit!
