Lovely space! We had everything we needed, including extra linens and cleaning supplies, for our stay. Super easy to get in and the host is really responsive. Great location near a lot of restaurants, shops, and public transit. The parking spot behind the building was incredibly convenient and the extra parking passes were useful as well! Great stay, I'd happily come again.

Three of us stayed for 3 nights at this beautiful apartment and it was wonderful! Super clean and organized, but still very warm and welcoming. Communication with owner was easy and timely.

Enjoyed our weekend!

We enjoyed our 4 night stay this past weekend. John answered quickly the couple questions we had with check-in and that process was very smooth. To our surprise going into the weekend Italian Fest was happening in front of the building so that created an extra activity for us to enjoy. The space was clean and we enjoyed having the amenities of "home." We definitely will keep this place in mind for future trips.

Charming Chicago getaway

Bella Vista was perfect for a long weekend in Chicago. The place was spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The snacks and coffee were the icing on the cake. There were lots of cute restaurants nearby and it was an easy walk to the pink line to train into the loop. Staying here was the perfect Chicago experience.

Great apartment in Little Italy

This apartment has everything you need! Very cozy and well appointed. There are even soft robes in the closets. Very clean, easy access to bus lines literally around the corner, 10-15 min walk to trains. It is a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights from establishment downstairs, but earplugs fixed that. Would stay here again.

Five stars

Thoroughly enjoyed the unit and found it well-stocked with things travelers need. It took a long time to get the actual address, VRBO wouldn’t give it. We wanted to know how close we were to transit. Owner finally gave it a few days beforehand which was fine. Would stay again and would recommend to others.
