I stayed at Nate's place for one night when interviewing at the University of Chicago and had a great experience. Nate made me feel welcome immediately, and the place was fantastic and the amenities far exceeded my expectations. He gave me helpful advice regarding and accommodated my requests. The area appears to be gentrifying rapidly and to the University is about 15 minutes (walking). I highly recommend Nate's place to anyone planning to visit Chicago, particularly U of C!
