There is also a fenced rear garden which can be enjoyed from your back porch. We also have a 2/bed 2/bath listed on VRBO Free inter net & long distance phone.

The interior of the unit is grand & open. The living room, dining area & kitchen over look the tree tops through the seven large windows. The finishing touch in the entertainment area is the Italian marble fireplace.

On the Evanston Border, only 1 mile from the quaint downtown home to shops, restaurants and of course Northwestern University. Loyola University and Park on Lake Michigan are only 1 mile away, a mere 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk.

Nicely decorated

Spent a few days in Chicago for a short family vacation. This VRBO was central to the activities we wanted to do. All went well. A few more nonessential supplies would have been handy- a broom, dish soap, kitchen wash rags for example. No big deal, just suggestions! Thanks!

Fantastic home in Chicago!

We loved this rental in Chicago! It was spacious and in a safe neighborhood. It allowed us to relax at the end of each day and wasn't too far from all the places we wanted to visit. Out host, Ross, was extremely gracious and very helpful when we arrived. I can't say enough good things about this property!

Home away from home!

Beautiful and spacious unit with everything you could ask for. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. Great hospitality and Ross met us for checkin even though our flight had been delayed. Wonderful location and within walking distance of restaurants, shops and the CTA station (Howard). Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Spot

The apartment was really spacious. It was very clean and the check in and out process was smooth. The property manager Ross was easy to deal with. The location is only a 10-15 minute walk from the red line which came in handy when wanting to go into the city. Over all this was a really good VRBO experience

Cozy and lovely space.

I stayed with a group of friends, Chicago being a central location for us. The large couch and full dining room table was great for spending a snowy afternoon by the fireplace and cooking meals. The property manager was kind and helpful. I highly recommend this space.

We had 8 people on our stay. House was very clean and well maintained. Ross the property manager was more than accommodating and easy to get a hold of. The house is as pictured with a few changes. The only down fall was the 10:00AM checkout time. We would and will stay here again.

Perfect! Clean, close to public transportation

Ross was incredible. He greeted us and immediately made us feel at home. The accommodations were perfect for our family get together. The large table and big living space have us room to cook, eat, and play games. We walked to the train and rode the red line downtown and felt safe the whole time. We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit.

Great apartment

Beautiful building. Very functional and easy to find. Like much of Chicago, parking can be very challenging for anything bigger than a small suv, even in neighborhoods. We mostly used public transit to get around. It wasn’t bad, with about a 15 minute walk to the nearest L train station. It was our first time in Chicago and it was fabulous.

Lovely place in the city

My group came in for a concert and decided to make a whole weekend of it. Ross, the property manager, was so helpful and just a great person in general. The condo was so comfortable and surprisingly quiet with all the windows. If I need a acetone stay in Chicago this will be the first place I check for availability.

Great spot

The place was ideal for our group of 6. Plenty of space, great location, close to everything we wanted to do and/or easily accessible to picking up the L to travel into downtown. The only suggestion I would make is to have a couple of items "in stock". We cooked a lot at the place, we were surprised a couple of things like salt and pepper were not stocked. Some cooking staples would have been good to have on hand.

Why they chose this property

I love the closeness to Lake Michigan and down town. Evanston home of Northwestern University is with in 2 miles.....a bit more easy going and peaceful. Michigan Avenue (Magnificient Mile)with all of it's exquisite boutiques, Water Tower Place,the Hancock Building, Oak Street, Oak Street Beach, all with in a 15 minute train line on the Union Pacific train which is only 6 blocks away. The Red line will take you to Wrigley Field, Lincoln Park Zoo & down town as well. Wrigley Field home to the World Series Championship Cubs is just 15 minutes from our location!

What makes this property unique

This home offers every thing that you would need for your Holiday or business trip. Luxury and all amenities at an affordable price. Compared to area hotels this is such a great value. Just think, having your own home with much more privacy.
