Wow. The location in Hyde Park, steps away from UChicago, just can't be beat. The neighborhood is lovely! My family of 4 was very comfortable in the house and appreciated the 2.5 baths (all very clean, modern, and stylish), the 3 BRs, and architectural touches like high ceilings, a bright skylight, hardwood floors. Since we were carrying limited luggage, the washer/dryer on the 2nd floor was very handy. We loved staying in a family home, which gives the illusion of being residents instead of tourists! The full kitchen was also useful--we didn't do much cooking, but heated up take-out food and cooked some frozen meals too. The a/c kept us comfortable during our August visit. A rare touch, much appreciated: 2 house keys!
My kids loved breakfast at nearby Valois, which opens at 5:30am, serves everything you could want for breakfast, and is reasonably priced and amazingly quick. Also, we got to eat at President Obama's table!
BTW, we were visiting Chicago in part to tour UChicago and Northwestern and we used public transportation most of the time, with a CTA daily pass. The day we were heading up to Evanston, we got a reasonable 1-day car rental from Enterprise, which is in walking distance from the house.
We hope to stay again!
