Amanda is wonderful! She is a great communicator, decorator, artist, and tour guide. Her place is super convenient, in the heart of Hyde Park. We got an excellent parking space; there is on street parking - fairly easy to find a spot within a couple of blocks of Amanda's place. She has a plant-filled back deck that was just the ticket for relaxing after full days of moving our son into a new apartment (incredibly HOT and HUMID). The lake is a short walk (20 mins or so). Highly recommended!
