Amazing Studio in Spectacular Neighborhood

Liked: Booking process was easy with detailed information and policies and photos. Studio located in great artsy Edgewater neighborhood with many shops and restaurants to explore. Plenty of street parking right near (within a block of) the studio. Access to studio was easy with provided codes. The studio description matched perfectly what we encountered. The large well lit studio is located in secure building above garage just behind main house. Studio had wood floors, secure windows, and plenty of lighting fixtures. The inside was quiet and comfortable with an overhead fan and wall mounted modern smart thermostat. Everything we needed for our weekend stay was available. There was a queen sized well made bed with many pillows. Kitchen was well appointed with flatware and silverware and had coffee and tea available for preparation. There was a two burner stove and small oven and refrigerator. Bathroom had walk-in shower, sink and toilet with plenty of towels (extra were available in the hallway storage dresser. There was a table for eating with two chairs and a work desk with its own chair. A remote control for the overhead fan along with information about the area and Chicago was on the desk. There was enough floor space for yoga and stretching. All of these features made the stay simply wonderful and wanting for us to return.Dislikes: None that we encountered.

Truly a hidden gem!

My daughter and I loved our time here. From the first steps through the gate we felt comfortable and welcome! Great bed and linens, beautiful bathroom, and excellent kitchenette. Everything we needed was there and the charm and coziness of this little carriage house really had us wishing our stay was longer!. We will absolutely look forward to staying here again! 10/10 recommend!

Great neighborhood, great value

Awesome value. Street parking was relatively easy to find in front, or within a few blocks. The neighborhood is friendly and quiet. The studio apartment was large enough to fit a cot (provided) and two suitcases comfortably. It is a cute vintage studio with an updated bathroom. You can hear the garage door open below, but was during reasonable times when we were already awake. There is an abundance of provisions provided: fresh towels unlimited water, fresh sheets, cots, sleeping bags, extra pillows etc, that were an incredible touch.

Wonderful Stay

My SO and I had a wonderful stay here! The suite was very clean and had everything we could've needed. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The Red Line Train was a 5-7min walk which made our day to day travel super easy! The owner was very kind! We would definitely stay here again!

Nice little studio cottage

Cute place, in a walkable neighborhood with Whole Foods to the North and Walgreens to the South. Access to the studio felt a little like entering the door to Narnia. No cupboard, but a narrow wooden gate. Quick access to public transport (Bryn Mawr/Thor Dale) on the Red Line. Got a pull out bed from the landing for out son. Perfect for our family of 3! The only thing we would like to change for our stay was the weather!

Carriage house with character in fun Chicago neighborhood

Lovely, clean space behind a pretty Victorian house with all the needed amenities. Short walk to the beach and the El train. We are vegetarian and had a delicious meal at Alice’s Kitchen a block away. Hosts were responsive and I would definitely stay again if in Chicago.

Lovely stay and host!

Such a cute property and lovely neighborhood. We enjoyed being close enough to walk to the lake shore/beaches. Driving into downtown took a bit longer with traffic to do some of the “tourist” stuff but there were plenty of great places to eat and shop close in Andersonville, Edgewater, Rogers Park, etc. too. Kate was a great host and made everything easy. Thank you!

In the Garden

Not the smoothest of spring breaks… We found our self in the local hospital with kidney stones, and Cate could not have been more compassionate towards our plate. We were so grateful to come home from such a trauma to a clean, safe, and wonderfully comfortable bed. We will definitely stay here again.

great stay in Chicago

We really loved out stay at Magnolia Studios. The apartments are very nice and reasonably priced, and the location is very convenient, being so close both to Andersonville and a CTA Red Line station. The host was wonderful and was very helpful despite being in recovery from illness. We were very happy all around.

The Perfect Spot

Quiet, comfortable, clean, and situated on a safe, beautiful street, the studio looks out on a leafy courtyard. Minutes to stores, transportation, and the lake. Kate and Ash left us to do our own thing but were available and friendly when we needed anything. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Wainwright

Kate - Originally from the south coast of England, I moved to Chicago in 1998 with my husband Ashley. We loved the City on arrival, and partifcularly liked Andersonville/ Edgewater where we bought and renovated an old colonial house in 2002. The neighborhood is fun, convenient and friendly, and we now feel very much at home within a warm and eclectic circle of friends. After many years of global travelling for large corporates, I had baby Teddy in 2007 and decided to stop checking myself in and sit on the other side of the fence. Numerous hotel stays have made me realise that travelling is both fun and tiring, and so Magnolia Studios excels at providing essential comforts. We aim to send you home feeling relaxed and refreshed after sleeping in super comfortable beds, and after being in a vintage building that is private, relaxing and completely renovated. We're on hand to help with any aspect of your stay, or if you know your way around, we just let you enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We loved the house at first sight, but what really made it for us was the original Chicago Coach House that was part of it. Our architect, somewhat of a Chicago historian told us how few of these are left in Chicago. These are now the studio apartments.

What makes this property unique

All the benefits that a major city offers, without the high costs and stress that usually accompany a city stay. Accommodation is tucked away in a 'gingerbread house' in a leafy garden. Once out and about, there is easy access to the main city center, to neighborhood restaurants and to local shops.
