This was a perfect place to stay with my daughter on our trip to tour the University of Chicago. It is practically right on campus. A very affordable and comfortable alternative to a hotel. Nothing fancy, but perfect for folks visiting the university. When we walked out the door, we were part of the stream of students and faculty going to and from classes. Plenty of on-street parking and campus security on nearly every corner. The housing is on the upper floor of a Jewish cultural center and appears designed to accomodate the needs of observant Jews. Although we are not Jewish, we felt very welcome and enjoyed the experience of learning a bit about the center and Jewish culture. The hosts are friendly, hands-off, but willing to interact and share.
