Very central location. Safe area. Can walk most places. Public transportation is near by to go anywhere you need to go. Great decor in the apartment. Very clean. Hosts are very friendly and responsive. Would stay again when we come to Chicago
Brought our son to Chicago to attend a Riot Fest for his Birthday; and was very pleased with the unit we rented. Not to mention the decor was very fitting as the apartment had awesome rock n roll memorabilia throughout. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. we walked out the front door and was in the middle of downtown Chicago. All you had to do was hope on an electric bike to get wherever you wanted to go. Conveniently, the electric bikes were also located on the corner right by the apartment. Definitely would stay again and highly recommend.
Also, I have sent a private message inquiring on a few pieces of jewelry I left behind. If you could please help me to retrieve those I would be most grateful. Thank you so much!
Unique apartment in the River north, close to Rush st, local restaurants, and fun! The apartment is a bit noisy during the day, with a restaurant below that has outdoor music. But, we weren’t in the apartment much in the day. However, there is a newer night club upstairs next to us that disrupted sleep on Friday and Saturday; the owner assured me that it was a new problem and they would be working on dealing with it. I hope they do because the place otherwise was great!
Honestly, and truthfully, this is just a great location for any and all things Chicago!
Half a block away from the brown line and only a few blocks away from the red line, you can get almost anywhere in the city without driving. We parked our vehicle upon arriving and didn’t touch it until we left.
Everything we wanted to do was in walking distance or we took the train. The Air and Water show was about a 10 minute walk. Old Town is about a 10 minute walk. The main bar and restaurant area of River North is well under a 10 minute walk. Chinatown was 10 min and Soldier Field was 15 min on the red line. How awesome is that?!?!
There is an awesome club called The Chalet right next-door that is a great time to hang out with wonderful people. The Soul & Vegan restaurant right beneath the location has incredible food (I mean chicken and waffles? Yes!). There are three coffee shops within 2 blocks if that is more your vibe.
As far as the actual rental. It’s everything you think it will be in more. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The couch and other furniture is all extremely comfortable too. Tons of space to hang out and extremely clean.
As the listing clearly states, the stairs on the way up are a little steep but easily manageable for most. The location is very safe. There is some city noise in the living room, but the bedrooms are very quiet.
Dean (the host) is very responsive and helpful!!
Very cool space.
Great location near Red Line (1/3 mile walk) and Brown/Purple Line (200 meters walk)
Included parking spot was a huge bonus.
Owners were very responsive in communication.
It is a 2nd floor apartment and there is not an elevator - stairs are a bit steep.
I stayed with two friends, and it was a really fun time. I’d never stayed in this neighborhood, but it was pretty lively with lots of places to walk to eat. We were slightly confused about the parking situation when we first arrived, but the owner was communicative, and the space made sense once we got into the apartment and could see that we were in the right spot. The living space is really large and functional, and we loved having some privacy with the bedrooms where they were placed. The on-site laundry was great as well. I’d definitely recommend staying here!
This was located in a very good distance to be able to walk to most attractions and had many necessities near by as well. Apt was nice and overall added to the Chicago experience.
Ive stayed at a few rentals in chicago. This was by far the most unique and best place. Property owner was extremely friendly and easy to contact. Place was clean and we loved all the decor. We used the record player and loved all the records. Felt safe the whole time. The rooms were dark which was great for us sleeping in. We were going to watch a football game at a bar but decided to stay and watch at the rental bc it was so cute & the tv was big! We will be back :)
Stayed here while in town for a wedding. Such a cozy space that we were able to enjoy with friends. So many unique pieces of furniture and memorabilia. Dean was also super communicative and accomodating.
We came to visit our son in Chicago with some friends from England and we loved the location of this condo. Clean, lots of room and Deans’s guitars were awesome. We will be back! All 5 stars for sure!

Spacious and well-equipped condo in convenient location
We were traveling with our adult son and girlfriend and really appreciated having the extra room in this spacious condo. The kitchen was well-equipped, even though we didn't cook! Loved the high ceilings and the large living area and windows. Close to the train station (brown line), with a Starbucks, Dunkin and Walgreens right across the street. Walkable to red line and Michigan Ave. Two things to note--the restaurant downstairs is closed and vacant, so the front of the building doesn't match the exterior photos. There's also a fairly steep staircase to the condo. Honestly, coming in the first time, it didn't look great! BUT the inside of the condo is exactly as pictured and lovely. Also, since you're in the the city and next to the train, you're going to have street noise, including at night. This wasn't unexpected and wasn't a problem for us. Overall, we had a great time, appreciated that almost everything was there for us (coffee, shampoo, towels, extra blankets & pillows, etc) and loved having the extra space!
Check in was easy. Property was as shown in photos and worked well for our family of four. Our stay was for five nights. We realized not enough paper towels or toilet paper has been left and there were no kitchen towels or Kleenex. I contacted the property manager and he was very responsive; they brought what we needed the following day so that was great. We really liked the location since the brown line was just across the street - made getting around east. Would recommend!
We enjoyed our stay in chicago. This place is very convenient! We used both the brown line and red line and we were able to get everywhere we needed to be. Loved the parking spot.
We stayed here to celebrate my son's graduation from Moody Bible Institute! Location was perfect, the kitchen is well stocked with all of the needed supplies to cook. Plenty of room and we felt very safe. Dean the property manager was so helpful for anything we needed.
Stayed for my sons wedding. Loved the free parking in back.Verrrry nice decor. Had to use the toaster in the living room as no plugs in the kitchen.
The REAL problem was the entry. Im seventy, my wife is seventy one, my brother is 82 and his wife is 77.
The appartment is on the second floor and has an EXTREMELY steep stairway going up. the risers also are not
the same height. No carpeting and extremely filthy.
Second time back to this property and will be back again. So convenient being right across the street from the L platform, especially when it was cold. The apartment is full of fun decor and so comfy to have as a home base after exploring the city. Walking distance to a lot and a quick train ride to the rest. Thank you, Dean, for another great, long weekend. Such a wonderful place to stay while we play.
Great location, awesome vibes, best prices. Owner was quick to respond to my inquiries. Couldn’t have asked for more. Would choose this any day over a hotel!
Me and my family of 5 w/ kids 10,8,3 stayed here during the Chicago Marathon. The location was amazing due to its location close to the route and so close to public trains. It’s a bit tricky to find but Dean was awesome when we called and got us situated very quickly. Apart for some street and train noise in the living room it was a pretty quiet stay. Bedrooms were well furnished and as quiet as you could expect. Large living area was a plus and the whole place was well maintained. The buildings stairway up is a bit dirty and worn. But otherwise this place is a great option for a 2 bedroom place so close to everything you could want.
