Our stay at the beautiful Garden apartment was truly memorable, and we deeply appreciated the comfort and safety it offered. The environment felt so secure, and the plentiful parking made everything so convenient. The beds were incredibly cozy, providing a restful sleep that I rarely experience in hotels—I slept so peacefully, which meant a lot to me. The linen was soft and comfortable, adding to the sense of home away from home. The host was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, sharing helpful knowledge about the area that made us feel cared for. We’re already looking forward to returning and wholeheartedly recommend this spot to others. It has quickly become my favorite place to stay when visiting Chicago, and I feel grateful for such a wonderful experience.

We had such a wonderful stay in this immaculate, cozy, and comfortable apartment. After a few days in hotels so we were so happy to have a little more space, a well-stocked kitchen, and the ability to do laundry. All within walking distance of the University of Chicago where we were moving our daughter in… Convenient location to coffee shops and restaurants, easy parking, quiet street, and felt completely safe. Charles was a great host and we will definitely be back next time we’re in Chicago!

Charles was a terrific host! He was available when needed. The place is clean, safe and loaded with great utilities. I highly recommend especially because the location provides easy access to the train and therefore other parts of Chicago. I came to Chicago for a conference with my parents who are seniors and my niece, and Charles’ place alleviated my anxiety when away from them. Thanks again, Charles!

A Perfect Spot to Rest and Recharge

We were so thankful for a nice place to come back to after long days of adventure in Chicago!An honest review: it was our first time in Chicago. When we arrived, we weren’t sure about the neighborhood and had trouble finding the house, since all the buildings looked similar and we arrived at night. Also, as noted, street parking is first come, first serve, and it was very full, which threw us off a bit—but it is listed as such in the VRBO booking.We also didn’t realize the entry code was for the door to the unit, not the front gate, but our host came right away to help. He was so kind, showed us how to get in, and gave us a quick tour. Once we figured out the neighborhood, parking, and entry code, it was easy peasy.The unit itself was small but very comfortable—perfect for our stay. The living room carpet could use a good cleaning, and the kitchen had a funny smell, but everything else was clean and welcoming.The beds were comfy, there were TVs in every room, and all the essentials were provided. The bathroom door didn’t close completely, but it wasn’t a big deal for us. The shower water pressure was on the lighter side, but the bathroom itself was very nice.We didn’t use the kitchen much aside from the microwave, but the necessities were provided. Just note it has a mini fridge, not a full-size one, and I don’t think there was a freezer. The small laundry area was very convenient and worked perfectly for our needs.Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Ch

For starters the space looks exactly how it is pictured! And the unit was very very clean! There is a tv in every room as opposed to one room. The host was great and super friendly! THIS PLACE IS A 10 ACROSS THE BOARD!

Absolutely perfect in every way!

This is one of the best vacation rentals I've ever stayed in! It's gorgeous and spacious and felt so welcoming. The beds were so soft and comfortable we didn't want to get up in the mornings and it was wonderful to have the smart TVs in each of our bedrooms to watch. The kitchen is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The bathroom was lovely and we had plenty of towels and soap and everything we needed was provided. It feels very private and we loved the neighborhood with all of the beautiful historic buildings. Charles was such a wonderful host, he took such great care of us! We can't wait to go back again this summer!
