Absolutely great value in a place! I was in Hyde Park for 2.5 weeks for a program at the UofC. While the Chicago monsoon season prevented walking to campus frequently, the CTA 172 bus is around the corner -- as is Whole Foods, and all the shops / restaurants along 53rd. The walk to the south side of campus was about 25 minutes when the weather allowed.
Reserving the place was effortless, and communication was quick and easy.
Check-in was, hands down, the best of any AirBnB experience I've had. Very clear directions, with pictures, for every step.
The place was much bigger than I thought it would be. It would easily sleep a family of 4, with 1 queen bed and 2 twins.
The kitchen was fully furnished and very functional - and with Whole Foods nearby, it was easy to cook some nights instead of eating out every night. I was also able to easily make breakfast every day - a savings not only to the budget but also to the waistline.
The washer and dryer worked well, and made travel very easy -- especially when I needed to wash stuff that got soaked in the rain.
Huge walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and another in the twin room.
Plenty of outlets throughout the house for charging devices.
No issues with hot water or water pressure.
Wi-fi worked well and was easy to connect.
Very minor issues were resolved nearly immediately, with easy communication with the hosts.
