My stay at Baila's house was outstanding (ausgezeichnet!). I was so pleased with my stay there. The folks coming and going were super friendly and outgoing and welcoming. The sign outside says "Welcome Home," and they mean it, and they live it. Best part is, if you want to be alone, they leave you alone entirely. If you want to interact, they interact with you only to the extent you want. And clean, the place sparkles with cleanliness in the bathroom, bedrooms, and public rooms. As for location, the house is situated in central Hyde Park within a block of the University of Chicago campus and only a short block from restaurants and coffee shops in either direction. Folks are super friendly and super efficient. Coffee and a snack is always freely available downstairs by the cafe. Would I go back and stay there again? Yes, in a heartbeat!
