I stayed here for a few months while visiting the University of Chicago. The location is good if you want to walk on to campus and it's there are several supermarkets nearby; and if you make use of the bikes you can be on campus in five minutes. Patt is a great host - she really went beyond the call of duty and made us feel super welcome - she spends a lot of time cleaning the house, and she took us to the Boystown halloween parade. I met some great people staying here, and, though at a certain point we had difficulties with a particular guest, Patt did an excellent situation of smoothing the situation out. If I were to return to Chicago, I would happily stay here again.
