About this property

Cozy Vintage Chicago Apartment near Downtown

This is your launching pad to see the city! It is a vintage apartment with your own private entrance and space. It is within walking distance of a large selection of restaurants, bars and cafes. With a bicycle, cab, Uber/Lyft, bus or EL train you can be downtown in minutes. In close proximity to many of Chicago's great locations such as Wrigley Field, The United Center, White Sox Park, etc... Located in the Ukrainian Village it is a safe, welcoming neighborhood with plenty of history.

Like many places in Chicago it has some 100year old unique characters. This is a garden unit as we call it in Chicago which means its a couple steps down below outside grade. There are also plenty of modern details though like fast and reliable wi-fi connection and charging ports for phones/electronics. There is a office with a office desk/chair to work on. The bedroom has a queen sized bed with a dresser and closet. I provide two suit case stands. It has a large TV with Amazon Prime, Netflix and locals stations to watch. I provide some guide book information about the city. We put together a guide book of walk-able neighborhood suggestions. If you are long term traveling you have access to free washer and dryer. Please be aware that you may need to duck slightly in some isolated spots especially if you are above my height of 5'-10". I have no issues at my height but I do have to duck a little to get in the main door.

This host has done a wonderful job making this space a cozy and clean place. There was useful information provided for an easy stay. Interactions with the host were timely and no problem. However for a person like me, that drags a touch of claustrophobia through life, the experience of being in this (basement) space for too long became difficult. My problem; not the host or their space.

Great place in Ukrainian Village! Easy check-in, good communication with host, everything you'd need included. The washer and dryer were a huge plus after we got caught in the rain during our adventures in the Loop. The umbrellas provided helped immensely, but the dryer helped with the rest. :) We were so thankful for all the amenities.

Week-long getaway

Good place to stay if you're looking to spend most of your time out and about on the east side of Chicago. Good access to public transport but a bit far from attractions outside of the loop/downtown. Being a basement unit, a fair amount of noise can be heard from above but nothing extreme. Overall, good stay.

Quiet neighborhood / affordable option

This apartment in the Ukranian Village was perfect for our visit to Chicago. The neighborhood is quiet / friendly, and we were within walking distance of public transportation. The apartment was clean, the towels were plush, and the hairdryer was top quality (a small but important detail for me). Jeff was a helpful and communicative host. Thank you for a lovely visit!

Jeff was an excess and handled our inexperience well! The location is in a quiet neighborhood with some walkable cafes, bars, coffee. We were visiting our son in nearby Logan Square and this reasonably priced rental worked great. Very clean, everything you would need. This is not a fancy lace but comfortable and as advertised.

Met our needs

We stayed here for a long weekend as a group of 3 adults. The location and price were perfect for our needs. Parking was tricky late at night but otherwise fine and we appreciated the complimentary parking passes. We wished the listing included a picture of the bathroom, particularly the shower which was small. The pullout couch was not comfortable. We made do by one person sleeping on the couch itself. The apartment was clean but dusty in some places. It had good lighting for a basement and was easy to get into. Jeff was a very attentive host.

Great for our short stay

The unit was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is full of people who obviously love their homes and are friendly to folks walking through the area. It was nice to have the parking permit. We used Uber when we went to Second City and were glad we didn't have to move car. Just a few suggestions: While we didn't have need to prepare food we did want to use the refrigerator. Somehow we missed that the fridge was located just outside the unit in the laundry space. Even a small fridge/freezer, like available for dorm rooms, located in the actual unit would be better. While the unit felt safe, perhaps there could be a lock on the door leading from the laundry area into the actual unit. We weren't sure where the second interior door led (upstairs? another unit? a closet?) and wished we could've secured our door. It's a nice unit and a good location for our plans.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Apr 2020
Thank you for the nice review. I'm sorry it wasn't clear that once you entered into the building you were in the apartment. The apartment includes a full refrigerator and also has a washer and dryer. The apartment is fully secured, nobody else ever goes in there and the locks leading out of the apartment are robust and strong. The locked door on the inside that you were unsure about is a tiny room/closet that houses the water heaters and plumbing. I labeled the door Mechanical Room now to clear up confusion. I also made it more clear in the instructions for entering that once you enter the building you are in your own private space. Thank you for your suggestions.

About the host

Hosted by Jeffrey Wernette

Host profile image
I have a yearning for traveling. I have backpacked & railed around parts of Europe and India. I love finding cheap tickets and randomly traveling around the country. Driving trips are fun too. I love traveling all types of places but because we live in the city the country side is much needed for relaxing.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property because I love the energy of the city and all the things large cities offer. Chicago is a great city to buy in. It is also a very good long term investment.

What makes this property unique

Its a quick cab, Uber, bike, bus or "L" train ride to 3 miles. We live in a great neighborhood with many places and activities to do. You don't need a car here and can do everything by walking or taking public transportation. It is safe here even walking at night.
