The Neighborhood:
Located in Hyde Park/Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago, which was the site of the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893, home to former President Barack Obama, an incubator for Nobel Prize winners — basically, history is made in Hyde Park. Hyde Park is a beautifully historic, intellectual, and culturally integrated area on Chicago’s South Side that operates with the distinct vibe of an upscale East Coast college town. It's a historic, highly walkable, and intellectually vibrant neighborhood that feels like a distinct lakeside college town nestled inside a major city.
Getting Around:
• The Express Train (Metra): Metra Electric District line is highly reliable and can whisk them into the downtown Loop in about 15 minutes.
• The CTA Subway (The "L"): CTA subway lines (the Green and Red Lines) do not pass directly through the heart of Hyde Park. To catch them, you will need to take a short bus ride west (like the #55 bus to the Garfield station) or walk.
• Buses & Rideshares: The #6 Express bus runs frequently along Lake Shore Drive directly to downtown. Uber and Lyft are highly available.

The place was absolutely beautiful, there was a strange ball of mystery strands of hair on one of the shelves. We also did have an issue with the front door lock of the apartment, but the host was extremely prompt with replying.
The property was a fantastic location. It was very spacious and served its purposes. It was clean enough upon arrival and the bedding and bathrooms were very clean. There was enough space to move around comfortably. Host was easy enough to communicate with.The dishwasher was on its final leg which was a little nerve wracking. The toaster was broken which was disappointing especially because we had bought bagels for our breakfasts. The property advertised sleeping 12 guests. We had 7 sleeping and it was more than enough space and comfortable. However, we had 12 for dinner and there were only 6 forks. The kitchen was the least equipped property we’ve stayed in. We ate in both nights and luckily had most of our dinners pre prepared. However simple things, like a salad bowl or strainer for pastas weren’t there. Not expecting a stocked kitchen, but for large groups, the basics would have been appreciated. Some of us live in Chicago so it wasn’t hard for us to return home to get. Plan to bring your own if you stay.Some doors had broken knobs upon arrival. My recommendation is to document everything when you arrive.
