Rebecca was an absolutely wonderful host.

I was travelling to Chicago for a conference at the University of Chicago, and I had never been to Chicago before so I was a bit nervous about my trip. However, Rebecca helped to get me quickly acquainted with the city. On the day of my arrival, Rebecca picked me up from the bus stop and gave me a tour of the University of Chicago campus (which really is like a 10 - 15 minute walk from her apartment), Hyde Park (the neighbourhood) and the entire downtown area. In doing so, she also gave me pointers on which transit routes to take to get to the main Chicago attractions.

During the next 2 days of my stay, Rebecca made me feel extremely welcome and comfortable in her home. She made sure I had everything I needed. She even made breakfast and dinner for me, which really helped cut my expenses for food on my trip. Moreover, Rebecca respected my space and privacy during my stay.

On my last day, my flight left early in the morning and there were not many bus routes available during that time. Rebecca offered to drive me instead. This made my trip extremely convenient and less stressful, and I will always be grateful for her generosity.

All in all, Rebecca made my first experience with Airbnb a memorable one, and I recommend her apartment for anyone who is looking to stay near the University of Chicago.
