I kind of want to tell you this was horrible, only to ensure it is always available when we want to reserve it. But, things like ethics compel me to tell you staying with Caryl and Philippe was really great. The overall experience is truly a B & B, with a spacious and clean private room, but a communal living room and kitchen where we enjoyed meeting other guests from South Korea, Germany and Vermont. Though Caryl and Philippe were busy with University of Chicago responsibilities when we visited, Caryl ensured we had breakfast both mornings we were there and was very communicative with (probably too many) questions. The property is ideally located on the northern end of the UChicago campus, but just a few walkable blocks from the heart of Hyde Park dining and shopping. When we met Philippe, he was very chatty, and offered some great dining suggestions in Hyde Park. As UChicago parents, we plan a lot of visits to Chicago, and our first stop planning will be seeing if Caryl has a room available.
