Mark's place is spacious and beautiful - and a LOT bigger than I figured it would be! My son and I stayed there right before he started orientation at the University of Chicago and our lodgings felt luxurious for just us two. The area is a quiet neighborhood but close to LSD and Hyde Park. Very easy access to the Loop, South Loop, Museum Campus, the University, etc. Street parking was no problem either on Berkeley or 45th, so we never even needed the garage. Mark provides a helpful guide to this historically interesting neighborhood and a detailed layout of the condo. I'd definitely recommend this property if you are staying in the area or even if you are looking for reasonable but high-quality lodgings in Chicago.
