This Hyde Park location is conveniently located 1 block from the eastern border of the UChicago campus and 1 block from the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park. It’s a 7 minute walk to Chicago Theological Seminary and 16 minutes door-to-door Metra ride to McCormick Place. Solo Hyde Park visitors are invited to enjoy the private guest room in my vintage 2 bdrm, 2nd floor walk-up (30 steps) co-op apartment. You will be the only Airbnb guest. Please read the listing before booking.

The space
The private guest room has a queen size bed, bedside tables w/lamps, a chest of drawers, a desk and chair, and a smart TV. The large closet contains plenty of hangers, an iron and ironing board, a garment steamer, and extra bedding. There is ample space in the closet to store your luggage. A window A/C is installed in the guest bedroom from June thru September.

All bedding - including mattress pad and duvet cover or quilt - is freshly laundered for each guest. During extended stays, weekly housekeeping is provided to the guest room at no additional charge.

The bathroom (shared only with the host) is stocked with clean towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and bar soap, mouthwash and a guest hair dryer. Ample space is provided in the bathroom linen closet (top shelf) for guests to store personal toiletries - no need to tote items back and forth from the guest bedroom.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire apartment - with the exception of the host’s bedroom - including use of the kitchen should you decide to prepare meals during your stay. A generous - and free - snack pantry should satisfy your late night hunger attack.

During your stay
Please provide your expected arrival time when it becomes available. I will show you around the apartment when you arrive. If I am not available, you will receive self-check-in instructions prior to your arrival. Feel free to message me via Airbnb if you have any questions before or during your stay. You will receive a prompt response.

Other things to note
The basement laundry room hours are 8:00am to 10:00pm. There are 2 front-loading washers, 2 dryers, and a table for folding your clothes. You may use any of the laundry products located on the shelf labeled with my name. You may reserve one or both machines in advance or simply sign in when you are ready to wash clothes.

Neighborhood highlights

The apartment is less than one block from beautiful Jackson Park which houses the Museum of Science and Industry and the Garden of the Phoenix, built for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The Obama Presidential Center is currently under construction 1 block away! Theaters, restaurants, grocery stores, book stores, and lakefront bicycle/running paths are within walking distance. This Hyde Park location is served by both the City of Chicago and University of Chicago police departments.

My building is located almost next door to the Metra Electric train station, providing you with quick and inexpensive transportation to downtown Chicago. You need to be aware that the tradeoff for this convenience is the noise from an occasional passing freight train.
