Everything about Albion House exceeded our expectations. It was even better than described! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. We especially loved the quiet street while still being so close to everything we needed for college tours and sightseeing. It was the perfect home base, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We will definitely be back!

Good communication with the host prior to check in. Parking is a challenge, but to be expected in the city. Very close to the Red Line. Apartment was clean and spacious. Kitchen was well appointed. Bedding, especially the pillows, could use an upgrade. Beach is further than the listing pictures would make you believe. Would recommend to small groups or a family.

Excellent apartment with 3 comfortable bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms. Great dining room for 8 people. Comfortable furniture and a large living room with a large tv. Great kitchen and quality appliances. Nice back porch with comfortable seats and tv. Excellent washer and dryer. The location is close to the Red Line and many CTA buses. Wherever you want to go, it's easy to do it. We loved the place so much we wanted to buy it. The owner said maybe in 10 years. Excellent communication with the host(s). Great people.

Great hosts and very clean property. Well stocked and modern kitchen. Bathrooms were nice too. Beds were comfortable and linens and towels were quality. Close to the ‘L’ train for easy transportation to events and sites, but not noisy. Within walking distance to restaurants and Loyola College which is very beautiful.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Ward

Host profile image

Hi, Aitor and I are married professionals living and working in Chicago. He works in Human Resources for an international group of luxury hotels, and I do professional digital imaging (photography) and motion (video). We're both big movie/film buffs and love classic and contemporary cinema and hanging out with our very sweet and gentle 7 pound Chihuahua mix. Aitor is a fluent Spanish speaker if that's of any help.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful vintage building built in 1916 has been meticulously maintained and updated for over a century. We live in the 1st floor unit, and are personally committed to an outstanding guest experience. The neighborhood is great, near the "L" (elevated subway), the beach and Loyola University, with all the shopping, restaurants and businesses that go along with supporting the students, staff and residents.

What makes this property unique

If you like a clean, contemporary interior in a gracious, well cared-for vintage building, you are going to love this unit! It was fully remodeled and rehabbed in 2016 and the furniture and accessories have been carefully selected for your comfort. This unit has a nice, large balcony with lovely views of our tree-lined street, great for relaxing on our chaise-lounges in the warmer months. This is NOT a corporate-owned, cookie cutter property. As on-site owners, we personally selected everything in the unit for beauty, harmony, and the comfort of our guests.
