• Drunken, disorderly conduct = immediate eviction with no refund.
ENERGY & CLEANLINESS
• Turn off lights, A/C, fans, and TVs when not in use.
• Do not leave A/C running if gone for more than 2 hours—ask and I’ll cool the place down before you return.
• Close windows if it’s raining or when you leave.
• Take out trash and recycling to backyard bins (bags are under wastebasket liners—ask for more if needed).
• Do not leave cups, cans, or cigarette butts on the front porch or backyard—it's a shared space.

o False alarm = $300 fine.

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Newell
I love Chicago and although I was born in Cleveland, I have lived and worked the majority of my adult life in the Windy City. I’m in show business. I am an actress and work in voiceover, film and TV. For 30 years I made a living creating shows and special events for corporate America and now I am retired from that but still acting. I love animals and currently have two cats, Felix and Sugar. They came from the same litter and look nothing alike. Different fathers. Did you know that was possible? I didn’t. I love to travel and have just started my retirement adventures. Always looking for recommendations fellow traveler.
Why they chose this property
I recently purchased this property and chose it for so many reasons, the first was price. It was a fixer-upper and I am not afraid of home projects. It had a front porch for goodness sake. And all three apartments had their own private entrances. Perfect for a vacation rental apartment! The home is now registered as an official Historic Bungalow. There are only 2 Bungalow Belts in Chicago and my street is in one of them. My home was built in 1916. It has metamorphosed over time into two separate family homes; mine is on the first floor and yours on the second. There is an in-law apartment. in the basement that has a steady tenant. This home is definitely charming with its peculiarities, as you will see, like the slanted wall in the kitchen & the mini walk-in closets. I love the location because it is so easy to find and super simple to navigate from ALL the major highways in Chicago; yet not so close that you get the 24-hr city noise. We're away from the congestion. I wanted a place where you could get to Wrigley Field easily. And it needed to be convenient to stores and restaurants and must be walkable to public transportation which this place is. My Portage Park neighborhood has three train lines passing through: Amtrak, Metra and our CTA, the famous el(evated) trains with Pace buses in all directions.The people in my neighborhood are a nice mix of ethnicities and ages and all with smiles and hellos. You see lots of dog walkers and yards with great gardens. The state comptroller lives across the street. I bet she knew what a nice neighborhood this is when she bought her home a few years ago. This is an authentic Chicago home in a real Chicago neighborhood with an enthusiastic host ready to provide you with a comfortable stay.
What makes this property unique
Life feels so simple when swinging on a front porch swing, don't you think? My porch is the perfect perch to watch the world go by… and dog walkers and joggers and folks going and coming and some out for a stroll. Then again, there are some days that outside seclusion is the preference and voila: my backyard patio complete with sun umbrella serves well. I also love that I can walk anywhere to find fun and great food from this house. A yummy, Chicago-famous deep dish pizza place just happens to be at the end of my street. What are the chances of that? You can drive to the big grocery store in 3 minutes or walk (which is what I do often). And I love that my discount shopping is super close; places like Marshall’s & Target. And to catch a flight from here... so fast and easy as I am 12 minutes from O'Hare. I made a reference book for you when you visit. It is filled with page after page of cool things to do within a 2-mile radius of this place like The National Veterans Art Museum, just a stone’s throw from here or the wacky Fantasy Costume Shop (2 blocks long.). My neighborhood is full of historic architecture everywhere. Actually all of Chicago is full of cool architecture. The churches around here are awesome and worth checking out. Chicago neighborhoods were built around the churches, btw. There is a super bright LED street light right outside this home with minimal side street traffic and always parking spots. And the last benefit that I can think of is that both basement Jim (my helper) and I are funny. So pack your sense of humor. When was the last time you had a funny Premier Host with a basement tenant named Jim who offers personal transportation? That’s what I thought. See you soon.
