Excellent location for visiting the University of Chicago (~10 min walk to the center of campus).
2nd floor (there is a neighbor above, but no one below).
Spacious with office space, living room, dining room, bedroom, and a well-equipped kitchen.
Appliances and TV are new and excellent condition, strong WiFi.
Clean.
Bright.
Numerous and convenient public transport options (Metra and buses) to go downtown or just around Hyde Park.
Whole Foods is a short bus ride away. An easy walk to TJ's.
Next to the Lake Shore trail (great for running or just walking by the lake).
Quiet building with nice neighbors. Although the building is close to train tracks .(convenience of Metra) there is no train noise (you will hear trains going by, but this is very inobtrusive). The biggest source of noise are Hyde Park events on weekends in the summer (various festivals and parties around Midway and the Museum of Science and Industry). But these are only during the day, on weekends, in the summer, and also an opportunity to feel a part of Hyde Park community.
Madeline is an excellent host. Friendly, thoughtful, generous, and happy to help.
Overall, and this is the best compliment any Airbnb apartment can receive in my opinion, it feels like living at home!
