We were warmly welcomed by Frank and Meredith. They showed us around their super clean and neat apartment. Our private room with private bath worked out very well for us. I slept on the twin bed, and my husband slept on a yoga mat on the nicely carpeted floor. (He often sleeps on the floor when we travel due to back trouble that is irritated by too-soft beds.) We used the well-equipped, clean kitchen to cook our breakfast and supper. My husband enjoyed some of Frank's home-brewed beer with his supper. The location of Frank's apartment is excellent for us as it is only 3 blocks away from our daughter's condo. We were in Hyde Park to help her with our little granddaughter during spring break. We enjoyed the short walk over to her condo. Also, Frank's "Cozy room..." is only a couple of blocks away from Hyde Park Produce where we bought fresh fruit and veggies at good prices. HPP also has some basic groceries, and there is a CVS store in the same small shopping center. There is a Neighborhood Walmart only about a mile away. For trips to the Chicago Loop and Museums, there is a bus stop about 1/2 block from the front door of Frank's building. The number 2 express bus runs during rush hours and gets you down to State Street and on to Navy Pier. The number 15 bus takes you across Hyde Park to Lake Park Ave. where you can take the number 6 bus (Jackson Park Express) down to the museums and along Michigan Ave. to Millenium Park. We had no trouble finding free on-street parking within a block or two of Frank's apartment. The apartment is on the 3rd floor with nicely carpeted stairs. Our small granddaughter enjoyed climbing up and down the stairs as did we. Great exercise for us and entertainment for her. Frank's cat is well-behaved and enjoyed getting a few chin scratches from us. There is probably not a safer location in Hyde Park since you're staying within a block of the president's Hyde Park home with secret service agents on duty around the clock. We plan to stay with Frank and Meredith again on our next visit to Hyde Park.
