Andy’s place is spacious and actually looks better than the pictures. He responds quickly and efficiently to requests. For a fee, he allowed us to check in a few hours early — which was helpful, since we were traveling with a baby. It is easy to find street parking close to the house. Our only concern during our stay had nothing to do with the host or the place itself, but with some shady dealings that take place all day long, directly across the street. These characters that set up camp on the sidewalk did not interfere with us at any time though. The location was convenient enough to the University of Chicago (approximately 15 minutes by car). Overall, we had a pleasant stay.
