We stayed for three days over Columbia College's family weekend. Greg's house was perfect for our family of five. Our experience epitomizes the reasons that I prefer Airbnb over a hotel.

The house is filled with character and charm. Greg's home reflects an appreciation of life's treasures: books and nature, cooking and music, family and history. And Hyde Park is a delight. We walked on the lakefront, explored the U. of Chicago campus (stunning!), ate dinner at Medici, and spent time at the Museum of Science & Industry. The area is walkable and safe and a 15-20 minute to downtown.

And we couldn't have asked for a better host than Greg. He was available whenever needed and clearly enjoys sharing his life and home with his guests. Absolutely recommend.
