Thank you so much for arranging a Christmas party for the residents. It's a big surprise and a home coming for us especially for those who left their families in their home country. Thank you once again.

Called this place home for 3 months while on fellowship at Uchicago. It is a walkable distance from the University and close to a whole foods, target and other stores in hyde park. It is quiet and has fast internet. The managers also keep the place clean and tidy. Management is responsive to repair requests. Highly recommend
