Caryl's house is located in a safer area conveniently situated near the University of Chicago campus. Street parking was easy to find when we arrived Friday night. The house and room looked like as they are shown in the photos, and they were kept spotless clean. The amenity looked a bit different depending on the room; I stayed in the "Red Room" with a writing desk but no TV, which was good for me. My room didn't have a bathtub, so you might want to ask the owner for a different room if you need to soak your tired feet after a long walk. The kitchen has a variety of food and drink for breakfast (cereal, egg, yogurt, salad greens, etc.), and guests help themselves. I saw a couple of other guests, and they were all visiting their families in UChicago. The owner Caryl doesn't live in the property, but it looks like she comes to the house frequently to take care of it (We saw her on the second day of our stay). The detailed house and area guide in the room was very helpful for finding what's around the house and restaurants for quick bites. All in all, I would recommend Caryl's place to anyone who is looking for a safe and comfortable place to stay near the UChicago campus.
