If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would definitely do that. Rebecca is really awesome. She has the magic to make you feel you are just coming to visit an old friend (if 'family' is too much). I enjoyed the entire 3-day (2-night) stay and would definitely recommend if you are a single traveler visiting UChicago area.
*** Below are some details in relatively objective descriptions =) ***
1. I have an early arrival flight (8 AM) and late departure flight (9 PM), which translates into early check-in and late check-out time. Rebecca checked with me on my schedules beforehand and immediately suggested the offers.
2. I planned to visit Northwestern University on Friday. Rebecca offered me ride both ways. Same thing happens when I went for a) a dinner gathering with my friends that night, b) a wedding the next morning, and c) a friend's place on the departure day. Rebecca said that she planned to go out in similar direction, yet I feel she adjusted her routine schedule for the ride offer. PS: Rebecca treated me a Groupon-ed lunch after we arrived Northwestern Univ. area. Very delicious.
3. The house is located in a quiet and cute neighborhood. Pretty safe as well (but I did not try to hang around too late by myself). The only sound I remember hearing was metro (?)- around 6 AM ish in the morning. That being said, I would still rank it as quiet. The room has great ventilation and plenty of storage including a small walk-in(able) closet (a small cubicle). Everything is clean and neat (this applies to the entire house).
4. A wide range of quick meal selection: cereal (4 types at least); pasta (4-5 different shapes) and sauces (4-ish), snacks, etc.
5. Rebecca responds to emails and texts quickly... enjoyable conversations anytime...
6. Pretty sure there are other things I forgot.
Thanks Rebecca!
