Super clean, recently renovated 3-Bedroom apartment in an area of Hyde Park that used to be rather sketchy, but is being gentrified as students and faculty move further away from the university’s core campus area. A no-shoes policy means that you should take off your shoes and leave them on the shoe rack near the doorway (house slippers are provided), and there is a small kitchen and dining area with two shared baths.
The narrow walkway to get to the unit off the street is not great or well lit, and is easy to miss if you arrive late at night. Once inside, the place is very clean and bright. Everything is very new, from the appliances, to the bathroom tiles to the lighting fixtures. The white walls are a little stark — a little color or artwork would help! Since there are two other rooms, there is a good chance that you will be sharing the kitchen or bath with another traveler or two.
The bottom line is that this place is very functional if you want a place to stay near UChicago. But it’s more of a launching pad for overnight accommodations, as opposed to a place that you would want to hang out and relax in.
