We visited our son at the University of Chicago, and he was worried about the location we picked. However, the neighborhood seems to have dramatically improved. The public hallway was a little bit of a letdown, but according to the host slated for a make-over soon. The huge kitchen is the center of the house. It was nice to have four bedrooms, so we could invite more family to come over. Parking at night on the street is filled to capacity, so it was great to have our own spot in the alley. We will stay there again for graduation next year.
