Lovely area to walk around, nice restaurants close by, an easy Uber 20 mins. into downtown, possible to take the metra trains and buses but we did not try. Lots of street parking. A few museums a close walk. Safe neighborhood. Great for a visit to University of Chicago. An exquisite home, lots of space. Caryl is a very gracious hostess, even prepared pisco sours for us. While you are independent in your nice large rooms, you can also mingle with the other guests in the common areas. Met some lovely people. Our first Airbnb experience, very impressed.
