About this property

Perfect for Groups & Families - A Starry Home by Downtown & L Stop with Rooftop!

Immerse yourself in a one-of-a-kind stay inspired by the expressive world of Vincent van Gogh. This thoughtfully curated rental features custom art installations, pieces from local artists and decor drawn directly from Van Gogh’s palette, florals and brushwork. Every element was chosen to echo his emotional landscape and invite you to step into a space unlike any other.

“I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.” - Vincent van Gogh. I may not be an artist or even an expert in home design or decor, but this is a steady growing passion that I have put my hand to which I hope you will enjoy.

This spacious two-story unit includes 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, plus shared access to the rooftop deck and a secluded garden patio. With the sofa bed, it comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, perfect for families, friend groups or creative retreats. Each bedroom features a full-size bed, closet, nightstand, lamp, ceiling fan and curtains, with workstations provided in two of the rooms.

After a day of city adventures, wrap the comforts of the home wrap around you. Cook up culinary masterpiece in the fully stocked kitchen and then gather around the dining table to share stories and food. Head up to the shared rooftop deck to sip wine under a starry night sky and enjoy shared moments by the fire pit. For a quieter escape, step down into the hidden garden patio where soft firelight dances against ivy-covered walls.

Location & Transportation:

You’ll be here in under 45 minutes. Enjoy walkable access to local cafés and restaurants or take a quick train or Uber to explore the city’s vibrant dining and nightlife scenes.

Self Check-In:
This property features secure self check-in with a personalized, unique keypad code generated exclusively for your stay which activates only within your reservation window to ensure privacy and peace of mind.

Children & Pets:
This is a child and pet-friendly home but please inform me in advance if little ones or furry friends will be joining you. I do not keep baby gear on-site but can help coordinate rentals through a trusted local partner.

Amenities & Access:
Enjoy exclusive access to the unit’s living, dining and kitchen areas, bedrooms and bathrooms, plus shared use of the rooftop deck and garden patio. You’ll find vegan, cruelty-free bath products from Ginger Lily Farms along with essentials like a hair dryer, iron, clothes steamer and an in-unit washer/dryer.
The space includes gigabit Wi-Fi, a smart TV with streaming apps (no cable), books curated for reflection and games and puzzles.

Neighborhood Favorites:
This peaceful pocket between downtown and Wicker Park offers the best of both worlds. Right next door is Windy City Café, a must for breakfast and lunch. Within a short walk, discover Sushi X (anime-themed), D’Agostino’s (classic Italian) or grab quick bites at nearby spots like Dosbros, Jersey Mike’s, Pie-Eyed Pizzeria, or Matchbox—a favorite local bar with cozy vibes and craft cocktails.

"Through my work, I'd like to show what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart." - Vincent van Gogh.

Wonderful location and experience

We really enjoyed this condo. Be prepared there were a lot of steps. But the place was just what I was told it would be. The location was wonderful. Kam was very responsive to all my questions and needs. Sitting on the patio at night was a joy.

Ok

Three flight of stairs to the bedrooms was a lot for us seniors, we would not have stayed if it was listed on add. Hole in stair was dangerous and not repaired in one hour as we were told, not repaired all weekend! Location and neighborhood was very nice.

Spettacolo Chicago

Appartamento davvero grande, con un bellissimo terrazzo all'ultimo piano. La posizione è davvero ottima: raggiungibili a piedi ci sono un grande supermercato, diversi ristoranti, bar e un Dunkin Donuts mentre la stazione della metropolitana (linea blu) è davvero sotto casa. Se dovessi tornare a Chicago prenderei di nuovo in considerazione l'affitto di questo appartamento. Consigliato !!!

Easy location for seeing Chicago

The apartment was conveniently located right by the Blue Line and provided enough space to spread out for four different guys. Checking in and out was easy and the place had what we needed for the weekend.

Great place close to the CTA

The location of this VRBO is super convenient for the CTA blue line. CVS, supermarket and restaurants are in a two block radius. This is the top two floors of the townhouse, so be prepared to climb a few steps, but the upper deck provides nice views of the city. The three bedrooms worked well for our family of 4 with two adult children. Spent most of our time exploring the city so the VRBO was used mostly for sleeping. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to visit Chicago and wanting more space than a hotel would provide. The owner Kam was excellent to work with. His communication was clear and timely.

Great location and fantastic stay!

Our time at the VRBO was awesome! We were surprised by the amount of space there was as we had 10 people in our group. It was fun to hang out on the rooftop as well as the balcony. The location was great as the blue line is close by and ubering from there was simple as well (the parking there worked out great too). The check-in process was seamless and Kam was an excellent host with answering our questions and working with a group of our size. He was very respectable and we would consider staying there again next time we come as a big group!

Great location, accomodating owner and overall Awesome Property!

I was going to Chicago for my cousin’s wedding /birthday with family. Found this hidden gem. Let me start with the owner. Kam is so accomodating and such a great host. He made sure everything was going great and made sure all our needs are met. Great communication and responds right away. Then the place. It was in such a good location. Luckily for us, it was 10mins to almost everywhere I had to go for that trip. It was so close to everything downtown. That made it super easy for us to get around. There are places to eat closeby that are of walking distance. The property itself was kept in great shape and is very clean. Then the parking. We didnt have any issues in parking. There were free parking across the street of the property and if all spaces were taken, the owner has parking stickers for you to be able to park on his side of the street. Between such a great host, great location, and great place, I would definitely recommend this to all my family and friends!

Incredible first time in Chicago!

The property is in an awesome location right by the train and easy to get around to either Cubs stadium or going over to the water front. Very clean and plenty of room to sleep for a group of 6 guys. Will definitely be returning again! Great hospitality and time!

About the host

Hosted by Kam Bosa

Host profile image
I'm a super chill guy that has been hosting for more than 6 years. I love meeting new people and helping people enjoy the city of Chicago. In fact, I now do this full time after leaving my day job. I love fitness, dining out and trying new places to eat and drink, Netflix, quality music (all types), street fests, traveling, and creating amazing experiences and memories.

My intention is that my guests have the best possible stay and experience in my homes. I look forward to hosting you :-)

Why they chose this property

I bought this home almost 7 years ago as a second rental building and to have my own private and personal unit in the building. It had the perfect mix of things between the rooftop deck, proximity to downtown and public transportation, a patio to relax in during the summer, a quiet neighborhood that was close to anywhere I wanted to go for more fun and activities, but most importantly a simple private unit to myself. It's a bright, simple and inviting area and place and I know I wanted to be able to experience that...and now I hope that others experience it as well!

What makes this property unique

This particular unit is incredibly spacious with lots natural light throughout. I have recently updated the unit and given it a facelift with new furniture, work stations and an actual art installation that is inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night," with credit going to the amazing artist and friend of mine Dana Parisi. I drew inspiration from the colors and art and have pulled it through in various other decor and elements throughout the unit
