Plenty of street parking available. Very quiet at night. The owners are very nice and actually offered us their Cubs tickets since they were unable to go. Very clean.
We loved the location of this apartment! Easily walkable to Lincoln Square, the brown line, and pretty much anything you could want. As other reviewers have said, parking on the street is easy here. We always got a spot right in front of the house and we never saw a time that the whole block was parked up. There's lots of room here and it has a very homey feel. It's great to have the hosts nearby, too.
This was easily my best Vrbo experience. The property was gorgeous, immaculate, and perfectly supplied.Parking at the property was not only easy, but ample AND FREE.The owners were easily accessible and couldn’t have been more friendly or more helpful.This is a gem in one of the neatest city neighborhoods I ’ve experienced.
This place is in a wonderful neighborhood and close to stores and restaurants. It was perfectly clean and well-stocked. The neighborhood was quiet and really relaxing- just what we needed after spending the days with extended family. We would love to stay here again when we visit family in the Chicago area.
This is a beautiful property in a classic Chicago home. It is a really large apartment with plenty of room for family and it is extremely well stocked. The streets are wide and the free street parking is plentiful. The town of Lincoln Square is darling with plentiful restaurants and great stores. You can walk to everything and anything easily, including the brown line. It was a wonderful stay. I would definitely stay again.
This was my third time at Wilson Manor. It is starting to feel like my 2nd home. The vintage of the house is similar to both my grandparents and my parents Chicago homes (100 years old) and I feel very comfortable there. I love the old wood floors and piano!
Very easy check-in and out. Always found street parking right in front of the home. Charming home and had everything we needed for our stay. Enjoyed the front porch. Great walkable neighborhood with wonderful restaurants and coffee shops. Easy access to public transportation. Wonderful hosts and will definitely be back.
Great location with easy free street parking. Short walk to the brown line which takes you to downtown. Rental was clean and had everything we needed. Communication with owners was excellent. It is a historical home which comes with the expected quirks. Would stay here again.
We were very happy with the entire process of booking as well as the beautiful home. I was able to park right out front of the house which was very convenient. The property owners are very kind and accommodating!I highly recommend!!!
This property is located in a quiet family neighborhood conveniently near shops and restaurants and minutes from the brown line for easy access to the rest of the city. There is plenty of street parking available. The hosts were very generous in accommodating our last-minute reservation. The condo was comfortable and as described. We would recommend this property to other visitors and will look forward to staying here on future trips to Chicago.

We are so glad we could accommodate you. You are welcome back anytime.
Location, location , location. If you are going to Wrigleyville, this is your place. Clean and convenient - just as the pictures showed it to be. Check in was simple and Lisa let us check in a little early which was nice.Definitely stay here again
In for Cubs games at Wrigley. Easy and close access to Brown line to Southport or Belmont stations for either short walk or ted line to the ballpark. Lots to do i. this neighborhood too.
Great experience overall. Appreciated the timely communication and house was exactly as portrayed. On street parking was never an issue and we came and went at different times of day and night. Highly recommend and we’ll be back again. Thank you!
Thank you for the 5 star review. We enjoyed having you and welcome you back any time.
About the host
Hosted by Lisa
We are welll known in Lincoln Square having lived and been very actively involve here for nearly 30 years. Both small business owners, we are natural hosts and community builders. We truly enjoy engaging with people and enriching the lives of others. Extending our interests to short-term vacation rentals is a natural for us. We do our best to create a memorable experience for guests in our space. We respect our guests wishes for privacy, but also welcome interaction for any guests who are interested.
Why they chose this property
We have lived in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood since 1998 and believe it's Chicago's best-kept secret. With large homes, wider streets, and a safe, family atmosphere, you'll feel less crowded than in other parts of the city. Lincoln Avenue runs through Lincoln Square and is two blocks away, offering every type of dining you could wish for, bars and pubs, a movie theater, a small music venue, boutique shopping, and more.
Several local breweries are within walking distance, including Begyle, Dovetail, Forbidden Root, and the Koval Distillery.
If you feel you must venture out of the neighborhood (which we rarely do :), the El train brown line is a short 5-minute walk, but isn't close enough to be heard from the property. The train can get you anywhere you want to go in the city.
What makes this property unique
Our building was built in the late 1800's as one of the first two in this area. It has been owned by several families over the years before it became ours. Initially, it housed both our family and our music school with teaching studios scattered throughout the floors. Our children grew up here with music always in the hous, bumping into students and parents around the corners. As our children grew and wanted the space to just our family, we relocated the music school to the second floor of what is now also our pizzeria space three blocks away. When the kids left for college, we didn't need all of this space so we opened the first floor to guests in 2018. We have been blessed with visitors from all over the world, many of whom return to use for multiple visits.
The space we are offering you is a home. We have worked very hard to avoid the sterile feeling of most short-term stay properties. We have given thought to what you mind need when traveling and tried to provide it all: from ample hangers, an iron (and spray start), to extra blankets, fans for those who enjoy white noise, cooking essentials and more.
Our reading collection is, well, extensive. Everything from children's books, romance novels and page turners to history books. We also offer an assortment of games for family entertainment.
We decorate for every season and holiday so each time you visit, the space may have a different feel, but is always clean, uncluttered, spacious and inviting.
