Urban Oasis was exactly that, a beautiful and comfortable home away from home. I loved starting my days in this greystone and knowing that I get to come back here after the day's adventures are done. Though Stephanie was away during my stay her spirit shows through the house. Emma ,who was looking after the guests, was an immediate best friend and trusted advisor. Awesome times, thanks. Special note: the worlds friendliest and sweetest cat lives here. I may come back just for more cat love ;)

Stephanie provided a wonderful accommodation!

Urban Oasis is beyootiful! Stephanie and Stephen are super cute and hospitable. The room was located in the best part of town. They could give you plenty of suggestions of awesome places to go. They're so nice; I'd definitely stay there again.

The urban oasis is great and so are the hosts, Stephanie and Steven! The area is perfect because you have easy access to good restaurants/bars/L-Train stop, but tucked away just enough so it's very quiet. The guest room also offers privacy because it is a bit separated from the rest of the house. I love their style of decor and everything feels super comfortable. The cats are also very friendly (I'm a cat person), but will not overly bother you (if you're not a cat person). I would absolutely stay here again!

Stephanie was great. She made us feel right at home and was super easy to talk to. She helped with how to get around and with any questions we had about the area. Her place was clean and her pets were very friendly. I fell in love with the neighborhood and her dog:) Definitly a thumbs up from us!

Stephanie was incredibly friendly! Her home is beautiful and definitely matches the description. Stephanie offered some great tips on what to do in Chicago, and her cats were adorable! We would definitely stay again!

Stephanie and her roommate Steven made me feel so comfortable and welcome, that I stayed an extra night. They allowed me plenty of space to do my own thing, but also were sweet enough to hang with me and even take me to the local farmer's market. Their HUGE flat was cozy and well-decorated (both eclectic and elegant) and their two cats were as friendly as could be. Also the neighborhood is full of charming Victorians and big shade trees, and there are loads of hip restaurants and bars just steps away. An all-around delightful accommodation.

Stephanie and her housemates, including cats, are great folks. House was clean, breakfast supplies and coffee good. My only difficulty is that the room is very small and dark - a better reading light would be nice. Priscilla

This place was beautiful and well kept. It was nice to be close to bars and restaurants but also tucked away. There's a cool little dive bar on the same block so we were able to grab some drinks and watch some local bands which was nice. Plenty of restaurants nearby and downtown was about a 20 min/$20 Uber ride away. The host was helpful and communication was easy which we appreciated. There's a outdoor deck which was nice to have some coffee/ eat some breakfast on. The king size bed was super comfy and soft and the kitchen was stocked w basics. All in all great stay and will definitely be back when we are in Chicago again.

Very responsive host. The place was quiet and the neighborhood very nice.

This place is absolutely gorgeous, very modern with a little touch of industrial brick walls. Everything is brand new in the apartment and super clean. Bed is very comfortable and the apartment has all the amenitites one would have in their home. Dariya was a fabulous communicator and helped out tremendously, she even spoke with the owner of the restaurant downstairs to allow us to keep our bags when we were already checked out. The restaurant owner downstairs Rodrigo is also very nice and the restaurant is delicious! Over all our stay was perfect and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It is about a $15 Uber to downtown and same to the airport.

Exactly as described.

Dariya's place was very clean and comfortable. Looks exactly like the pictures. We highly recommend it, and would stay there again.

The pictures don't lie, this place is beautiful. The hosts were lovely and very helpful. Bonus: the Mexican food restaurant just below the apartment and the CTA is right out the door. Location is close to a lot of shops and yummy food places. This is the place to stay if you want to be away from the hectic city.

Dariya's place is great. Bus stop right out front. Free parking on School street if the garage is blocked. Quiet neighborhood. Lovely deck. =]

Nice place! I really enjoyed!

I stayed in this lovely little home with my girlfriend and son. We loved this place! It was so quaint and cozy! We loved the decor and plants around the room. We had looked up the neighborhood like they recommended and we honestly loved the community. We felt safe and had no issues in the community; however, I would recommend to be vigilant at night. There were a bunch of small businesses and locally owned shops and restaurants with authentic Mexican cuisine. We almost asked to move in lol. We also needed to make some adjustments to our reservation and they were very accommodating. We were able to meet Dom in passing and he was sweet and friendly. Overall, a lovely stay and we would highly recommend this place! Special thanks to James and Dom for being excellent hosts and giving us some inspirational ideas for decorating! ;)

James and Dom's place was a perfect little getaway. It's only a block away from public transport and parking was easy to find. It's close to the city but still feels very secluded and quiet. Overall a great deal for the price and we would absolutely stay again!

I am in love with James and Dom's place and want to live there. The location, the decor, the set up. It was perfect. Compact and efficient. I did a fashion photo shoot there with a team of 9 and even though quarters were cramped, we weren't on top of each other and everything went smoothly. Next time I need an escape from my children I am booking a night to sleep in this relaxing environment. James and Dom went above and beyond with communication, were helpful and readily available.

Great place two thumbs up!

The Roosevelt Suite is very cozy and relaxing! We didn't spend a lot of time there during our visit because we were out sightseeing mostly, but it was a great hub with a cozy bed and private, chill vibe. Parking was tricky and we had to walk pretty far, but neighborhood is very quiet and we felt safe walking at night. The CTA (train) is only 1 block away with easy access, I would recommend using that whenever possible; it runs until about 1am. Oh, and we ate the most incredible Mexican food nearby - definitely check out the neighborhood for authentic eats!!!

The place exceeded my expectations. I knew that James and Dom were going to be good hosts because we emailed before my arrival. I got detailed recommendations for restaurants, complete with screenshots of maps and directions (with arrows!!). And that was in addition to the wonderfully detailed directions to the place from the airport. Once we got to the place, we were floored by its decorative uniqueness. It was immediately comfortable. And then we had tea and cranberries that were stocked by our hosts. James came down and chatted with us. He offered us bikes to ride around the city. They come with the place, but here's where James became a superhost. My partner's bike was too big for her. No problem, James went into his garage and returned with another bike and adjusted the seat. Arguably, the best part of our trip was riding around Chicago for several hours. There's a familial liveliness to this place. You hear voices in the backyard. You can join the conversation, too. Their dogs roam freely in and out of their house. The dogs kept us company, too. If you're looking for friendly hosts who are attentive, I don't know how it would be possible to find any better in Chicago — or anywhere else. We loved the neighborhood, too. And, since the place is closer than a stone's throw to the train, transportation couldn't be more convenient. But I suggest going with the bikes at least once, no matter how sore you'll be the next day.

Staying at the Roosevelt suite with my girlfriend was bar far the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. The place is so warm, well decorated and has enough pace to make it really as comfortable as being home. There is also a reasonable amount of cooking space to make small dishes, nothing fancy but more than I could have expected. The host also made our stay really easy and fun by walking us in the neighborhood! Unforgettable experience, I am so happy we stayed there.

James and Dom's place was awesome! their place is exactly as pictured. it's so cute. they're very quick to respond and super accommodating. we were a group of 3 ladies and we felt safe in the neighborhood. as with anything, just be aware of your surroundings. i would stay here again. thanks again!

We had an amazing stay. House was perfect and the patio was beautiful. Cory and Jennifer thought of everything!

Cory and Jennifer were great! The apartment was exactly as it looks in the photos. The view from the patio is lovely.

We had an amazing stay! Cory and Jennifer are a charming couple which makes their lovely apartment even more relaxing and enjoyable. The room and private bathroom have excellent facilities and the apartment is well situated for an active weekend. This is a little gem of an airbnb apartment and I would definitely recommend staying here. The morning sunset view from the roof terrace is an added bonus if you are up early enough!

Cory&Jen were incredible hosts, attended us and made us feel at home. They showed us around the ropes of Chicago of where to go, what places to see, eat & drink. Even though my friend and I only stayed 2 nights we got a full experience of Chicago thanks to them. The private room was very comfortable and clean.The terrace has incredible views of the city. Everything of the city is within walking distance or a 2min. Cab ride, you also have the Train station 2blocks down. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay at this Penthouse, Cory&Jen they are fantastic hosts and the heart of Chicago is just at your door step

The apartment is in an ideal location to be able to walk to the Museums, waterfront parks and downtown but also easily accessible by public transport or a cheap cab ride if you are tired of walking at the end of the day. I was made to feel very welcome and the place is great!

Cory and Jennifer were great and they made me feel welcome right from the start. Their place is in an amazing location and feels welcoming.

Cory & Jen were gracious host. They were more than accommodating and they have a beautiful home in the south loop. Thank you so much for opening your home to us! Karen

The host canceled this reservation 22 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Staying at Dave's place was a great choice. The apartment is beautiful and in a great location. Dave was a great host, giving us everything we needed and consistently asked if we needed anything. He gave us tips on where to eat and easy directions on anywhere we needed to go. I would definitely stay there again.

David receives my repeat business due to his very helpful, fun and kind demeanor. He and his roommate were ever ready to assist should I have any trouble getting to their location or even needing advice in the city. His perfect location close to the blue line is an added bonus. Recommend with gusto.

Dave's place is great. It's smack in the middle of a very lively area with lots of bars and great places to eat. T Dave is a great host who will look out for you and make sure you have / know what you need to have a good time in Chicago. Would definitely recommend for a great stay in this great city! Thanks Dave & Dom!

Friendly and courteous group of hosts, friends visiting for a game of pool or a drink also friendly. Location could not be better from standpoint of public transport, restaurants, shops, bars, but be attuned to safety issues at night.

Great people and excellent location. Would definitely recommend to friends.

David was a great host. He gave clear instructions on how to find his place and answered any questions we had. David is very laidback, friendly and sociable but we had freedom to do our own thing.

Dave is an excellent host! Incredibly helpful and friendly. Excellent location for a great time. Close to so many great spots in Wicker Park! Definitely would stay with them again if I find myself in need of a space in Chicago.

David was very communicative and accommodating. His place is in a phenomenal location and all his roommates were great to hangout with. Would gladly stay again when in Chicago.

Our experience at Peter's home was just fantastic. As I host myself - I took notes! The neighborhood is lovely and the home itself is spacious and inviting and the back porch is a great place for morning coffee (well, in the summer anyway!). The fridge was and pantry were stocked with several items and works on a "cookie jar" system. Take a little, leave a little. You are able to easily access the home and a thorough home manual will tell you everything you need to know about the home. Peter was a gracious and friendly host that made us feel most welcome. We would definitely stay again.

Fantastic apartment! I doubt you'll find a better deal in the city

Peter's place was beautiful. Arts and Crafts built-ins and architectural features, beautiful private back deck, big kitchen and dining room. All this with up to date modern amenities with computer, TV, and modern kitchen. Outstanding - a great value.

This place was perfect for our Thanksgiving Day dinner. Our host was quick to respond to any questions we had and we really felt at home here. Can't wait to stay in warmer weather to use the deck also. Parking? No problem. We were able to park right out front. We will definitely be looking to stay again when visiting our son. Thanks, Peter for opening your home to us.

Peter was awesome about having clear instructions on how to access the property and the use of the amenities in it. Having a beer available in the fridge and access to milk and chocolate syrup made our arrival so much more enjoyable. He has a stocked kitchen though we tried to not overdo it so only used the Keurig for coffee and a couple of beers but there are spices, oil, butter, cheese, sugar, milk and other staples so that if you plan on cooking you do not have to buy a large container just to use a couple of grams. I had two kids (2.5 and 1 year old) and it was "baby proof" enough that I was not too concerned about them being in the rooms by themselves. There are not a whole lot of fragile items at their level. The condo has really high ceilings and big windows so it is very bright and airy. We were there in the dead of Winter and it was cozy warm but I can see it being a great Spring/Summer setting with the back balcony. The decor is warm and cozy in a very neutral palette, there are tons of cool pictures exhibited throughout and it is evident that everything has been well planned. There is a new Whole Foods right next to the Fullerton subway station so it is a really easy walk (8min or so) and you have access to salad bar and hot food bar so that also helps with easy and healthy meal planning. We brought our car and had to circle the block a couple of times before we found parking BUT we did get parking right in front of the building AND there is still a lot of snow on the ground which makes the street side not be optimized for parking as there are spots in which a car would fit but snow has been packed into it. So I would think in a different time of the year parking might be easier (we did not move the car once we found the spot though). Being right across from DePaul University, there seems to be a bunch of businesses that cater to students so finding stuff to eat should be fairly simple. There is also a library only a block and a half away. Overall a perfect location for our quick weekend getaway to Chicago. We were very pleased and would not hesitate to consider recommending this place to our friends and consider it for our next trip as well.

The apartment was exactly as described and was perfect for us. Seamless set-up by Peter made it all very easy. We liked the neighbourhood which felt safe and was very convenient for public transport, shops, cafes etc. We would defonitely come back.

Everything about our stay here was wonderful and I can't wait to go back!

We had a wonderful stay at Peter's home. It was clean and comfortable. The location was ideal as we went to visit a friend and my son. We were able to walk to train, restaurants, little cafes for drinks. We spent every morning sitting out on the balcony enjoying our coffee in comfort. Peter made good efforts to assure our comfort and he thinks of everything. When we hzd a question it was easy to get a quick response by text. We will gladly return to this location.

Amanda's home was wonderful! My mom and I had a great weekend exploring Chicago and relaxing in Amanda's place. Amanda gave us several great suggestions, and the location was perfect for exploring different parts of the city. We cooked a few meals in the beautiful kitchen, relaxed on the patio, and really enjoyed the hospitality! Highly recommend!

Amanda is a caring, warm and charming person. She went out of her way to welcome me into her home. This was my first time staying in a room and not renting a full place and feared that the host may take too much space, but Amanda was the complete opposite. She took just the right space to make me feel at home and gave me plenty of privacy.

The apartment is absolutely beautiful (with a great book collection!) and not a far walk to the Pink Line. While I didn't see much of Amanda due to my running around Chicago, she was always warm and accommodating.

Amanda is a very warm and welcoming host and I felt at home right away. The house is great - very stylish yet comfortable. Amanda clearly very much enjoys living in Chicago and hosting! She took time to make welcome suggests of places to visit and things to see based on my interests. But it's her adorable feline companion Hafiz that rules to roost!

I really appreciate her welcome when I first jumped in her house. She is very kind, soft and interesting. I had wonderful stay in Chicago. My biggest mistake is location because it is little bit far from downtown. However I don't regret it because of her "Omotenashi". Area of the house is also quiet and peaceful

If you don't mind taking a short ride (~15 minutes) to get downtown, then I highly recommend staying at Casa Corazón. Nestled in the humble and quiet Pilsen neoghborhood, this gem of a home felt like both a retreat from the busy city center and an invitation to experience the slower paced family life of not-quite-the-suburbs. I tend to prefer a lot of alone time, so I didn't mind Amanda's low-key hosting style. We only chatted once (partly because of my schedule), but it was enough. Her warmth is reflected in the comfort of the furnishings and her passion for art is evident in the attention to detail. Chicago grew on me quickly as a city, and I'm sure my stay at Casa Corazón played a significant part.

I had an amazing time staying at Casa Corazon. The neighborhood was cute and parking wasn't difficult. A quick 10 minute walk to the Damen station on the Pink line would put you in the Chicago Loop within a few stops. Amanda's home was beautiful and comfortable. Anything you could think of, she had already provided. Amanda is so sweet and a great and welcoming host. I really enjoyed staying here. It really was like home!

Amanda's the the best host u can expect, so nice and accommodating. She took my late request thank u so much btw and welcomed me with her absolutely delicious pancake, a must try:)) Can't pick anything insufficient about the room and the house! Great airbnb experience! Definitely staying again next time I go to Chicago!

The location of this listing is superb!! the apartment building is very nice and we felt like we could go in and out without much trouble. She left snacks and soda and milk for us!!Yet, I don't remember reading anywhere that she has a dog and that this is a room inside her apartment and that she and her mother and the dog live there. The room was clean and confortable, beautiful decor, pretty view but the bathroom is outside, and she leaves the door open ALL the time...

Our short stay here was so lovely. The view is beautiful and it was the perfect spot to the be. We basically walked everywhere and if our next destination was far we would just take a Lyft. Also, Margarita was in constant communication with us and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay with her again.

Outstanding location and beautiful apartment, fully equipped and perfect for visiting Chicago

I received more than adequate instructions from Margarita with regards to finding and entering the property. It was a lovely apartment and our room was spotless with amazing views of the city. The temperature was perfect, the bathroom was also great. Everything as described in the listing. Thanks Margarita and Aslan. You were the perfect hosts and I will recommend your listing.

Wonderful host. Wonderful place. Hope to be back again

Very nice place to stay!!

I enjoyed my stayed at Charis's place and felt very welcome. It is a good neighborhood and the apartment is great. Charis is a fantastic host.

We had a very nice stay at Margarita's place. We shared the apartment with her but barely saw her neither hear her which almost felt like we were alone. The building has a great location and it is very nice, as well the apartment which has an incredible view. We had the chance to cook our breakfast every morning and that was very helpful. Over all very nice, spacious and clean, only had an issue with the bed which didn't feel too comfortable. Used the extra pillows to improve the sleeping time.

I am just back from Chicago with a lot of new experiences and a new friend: Jimmy. He is an outstanding and generous host and his old Chicago style apartment with the Frank Lloyd Wright style bathroom well worth a stay, a memorable stay! CAn't wait to be back in that cozy room Jimmy!

Jimmy's place was the perfect stay for my Chicago trip. Jimmy is a great and interesting guy and he will definitely make you feel at home. The house is big, clean and full of character. The bedroom is large and offers everything you need. I would definitely recommend this to anyone staying in Chicago

Jimmy is a good host and very easy to communicate with. The location is good. His apartment is in a safe neighborhood and close to bus station.

Lisa and Jimmy were very welcoming and sociable hosts. They respected my privacy and where also very open for a chat. They provided me with information on restaurants and the nice things to do in Chicago. The room is perfect and very cozy. The location is perfect, it even made me run through the park, while I don't like running. Thanks again for the very nice stay :-).

I had a awesome time. I felt always comfortable with Lisa and her roommate Jimmy. When I arrived they showed me everything and allowed me to store things in their fridge and use their kitchen. My room matched the description (I had the bigger room with the desk). Everything was clean. Lisa and Jimmy were very talkative and hospitable. Public transportation was close to the accommodation. 5 min walk to bus #151 that goes to Michigan Avenue (20min ride) and 15 min walk to the Red Line train that takes you to Downtown, too (10 min ride). The lake is a 10 min walk away. Banks, bars and groceries are close on Clark Street. Recommendations nearby: Food (Five Guys, Crisp, Wiener Circle), Party (Kingston Mines Blues Club), Sightseeing (Lakefront, Lincoln Park Zoo, Wrigley Field). I recommend Lisa as a perfect host. She and Jimmy are so nice, her condo is as described and in a very good location. I felt save all the time. Even my contacts in Chicago confirmed this good and save area. Thank you Lisa and Jimmy for everything. If I will visit Chicago again, I would choose you again without any doubt!

Lisa its a great host, kind and very friendly Everything was great The location was excellent, close to public transportation and a lot of shops, bars , restaurants etc. I recommend people to stay here :)

Staying at Jimmy's house was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had. The room was well furnished and I had my own desk to work from. The house itself is really cool and great for coworking. He keeps snacks readily available which was a lifesaver for me. Jimmy adds nice touches like trinkets for guests when they arrive. The location is great. Lots of restaurants around and Lincoln Park is gorgeous. I'd definitely recommend staying here during your trip to Chicago.

This place was absolutely wonderful! The home is beautiful, and it's in a perfect location. Jimmy is a very friendly host who made me feel right at home. I absolutely recommend this place.

The apartment was wonderful; a lovely apartment inside and out. It was very easy to find and accessible from the airport and from central Chicago by the subway, in a quiet neighbourhood. Meighan provided lots of recommendations for where to eat and drink nearby with an invaluable map for Logan Square. We would definitely stay there again!

Very chic, very comfortable, and in a very convenient location. The apartment was nicely furnished and the beds were extremely comfortable. Although the apartment was located in an area close to restaurants, shopping, and the Logan Square train station, it was quiet. The area had a good neighborly feel about it. In the apartment, Meighan provided lots of information about Chicago in general (restaurants, things to do, etc.), and she also provided good information about the Logan Square area. The detailed area map was much appreciated. We also enjoyed perusing all the books about Chicago. The bulletin board in the kitchen was loaded with lots of info, advice, and suggestions. The restaurant recommendations were superb. We agree that Lula's, JAM, and Fat Rice are fabulous. And they were all within easy walking distance. We wish we had been able to stay longer so that we could have tried more of the recommended dining spots. In addition to dining out, we liked being able to make a cup of coffee in the morning. And the coffee was really good! We loved the plants in the apartment and in the back yard. Even though it was raining, it was so pleasant to sit on the porch in back, view the plants, and read the newspaper. When we decided to head out in the rain, we were pleased to see that Meighan had placed a couple of umbrellas in the front hall. All in all, staying in this apartment was a truly wonderful experience. We highly recommend it to others. We definitely would love to stay there again the next time we are in Chicago.

absolutely fab place to stay. beautiful appartment, super convenient. felt like I was really staying "in Chicago" rather than an uninspiring downtown hotel.

Meighan's apartment is like a show home! It's exactly as it looks in the pictures, very large and clean, and has lots of useful things which aren't mentioned in the description (e.g. some very nice toiletries, a hairdryer, and a great selection of books). There are lots of places to eat within a 5 minute walk - we visited El Cid, Longman & Eagle, and Jam, and would recommend them all. No large grocery stores within walking distance, but the closest one we found was under 10 minutes away on the bus. Only slight negative is that the internet wasn't very reliable, but Meighan was very helpful whenever we texted her about it. She also brought us some spare cupcakes! Overall we had a great stay and would definitely choose this apartment again.

Meghan's apartment is really cosy and well decorated. It feels like home! The kitchen is fully equipped, everything that's here can be eaten, so you don't have to buy salt or vinegar for only a few days. The neighborhood is calm and only half an hour from the center of Chicago. But it makes you feel so far away from busy city, it's a real pleasure. Having a drink on the terrace or in the garden after a long day visiting the city is quite a treat ! There also are very nice shops and restaurants nearby, and even a cool yoga studio.

Staying with Meighan was great once again! The place was lovely and the neighborhood has more awesome places to try out every time we visit. We love staying here!

Gorgeous apartment - I absolutely loved staying here! Meighan was a great host & made the apartment very homey (lots of cooking tools, spices, tupperware, and so on). Highly recommended!

Meighan and her husband (an interior designer and a landscape architect) were very accommodating to our party, super friendly and easy to communicate with. The apartment is a block from the stunning Logan Square Boulevards and was absolutely gorgeous (both inside and out, obviously), clean and located in the most fun and beautiful neighborhood in Chicago (coming from a former five-year Chicago resident). I would recommend this BnB to anyone. You'd be a fool not to book it if it's available during your trip to Chicago!

Michael is a very responsive host and his daughter is very nice and instructive in terms of the use of the room. The space is generous and the room is very private.

Michael did everything (and more) to make us feel at home in his beautiful apartment in the very centre of the city :-). The roof deck is amazing, and now full of flowers :-)). The room is comfortable and equipped with toilet and shower! We will never forget his hospitality, gentleness and rich life experience that he shared with us.

We had an amazing time in the loft, which is a perfect base for exploring Chicago. Our bedroom was very comfortable and quiet away from the main street, with an en-suite. We used the rest of the apartment a lot, including the kitchen and terrace. We also loved Michael's art all over the loft, and the relaxed, bohemian athmosphere. The terrace is amazing, our favourite thing about the place! You are in the middle of Chicago with your very own incredible outside space, perfect for having a few drinks or having breakfast (or lunch or dinner). Unfortunately we didn't meet Michael as he was in Europe at the time, but he was always contactable and responded straight away and his son was close by if we needed anything. Location if perfect, within walking distance of everything. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return!

Michael's place is just as he described. The rooftop deck is awesome with a great view of the city and he has quite a green thumb as well! There are many varieties of vegetables and herbs growing there. I was there for a conference and the stay at his place was the best part of the trip. He is close to a lot of nightlife and the Chicago Riverwalk downtown is just minutes away. I will definitely be staying there next time in Chicago!

Absolutely beautiful! This was our first Airbnb experience ever, and we couldn't have asked for a better place. Michael's loft was cozy and unique and felt like a museum. The entire space has so much character. The view from the rooftop was unbelievably gorgeous. While there were renovations being made currently, that seemed to only add to the charm of the loft. There is SO much stuff nearby to check out. Tons of great bars and restaurants all within walking distance. The check-in and check-out processes were seamless. We will definitely be staying here again our next time in the city.

This shared artist loft is a perfect location to explore and enjoy Chicago! It is not common to find such a great space in this central location in the city. Michael is a great host, who really works on creating a comfortable space for guests, and helping everyone feel welcome and comfortable in Chi Town. The deck that he has created is the envy of the entire area! He was kind enough to also allow me to use the light from that fabulous window to do some painting there, as it really is an artist loft! The five floor climb is good for you, but take your time! Luggage is heavy, but once you're up there, it's worth it!

We came from Ann Arbor, so thankfully it was a quick and easy on/off from I94. The place is just north of the river, 15 minute walk to all that downtown has to offer. Michael and his daughter were very welcoming, offering directions and sites to see, places to eat, things to do. The 5 story climb isn't too bad when you're only doing it 2/3 times a day as you come in and out. The place was gorgeous with history, high ceilings, wood floor, giant windows, the place is as good as it looks online. A Summer trip would make better use of the awesome rooftop deck Michael built himself. We didn't mention that we'd be bringing our cat along, but they didn't seem to mind and were awesome with him.

Michael provided one of my most memorable experiences when using AirBnb. Was really welcoming and made sure I was comfortable during my stay in Chicago. Very adaptable to my schedule and arrival/departure. Clean studio apartment with a lot of art work.

I love staying at David's. The house is warm, friendly and just the right mix of quirky. He is often booked up, so if you find a space with him, consider yourself lucky!

David and his housemates were very welcoming and friendly, enjoyed stay

David's apartment is located less than 5 minutes walk to RED line and Wrigley Field. Restaurants and night scenes are also within a walking distant. The room is beautifully decorated, nice and clean. I met David upon my arrival; very nice guy. I would definitely go back again.

David's home was wonderful for my quick trip to Chicago. Conveniently located closed to the train station, restaurants, and coffee shops- it was extremely easy to get around. The space is lovely and very well decorated. There are many people staying in this space, so there wasn't as much privacy as I hoped- but I wasn't there much as I was out exploring the city so that wasn't a huge deal for me. I will say the bed is extremely stiff, almost hard. I didn't sleep very comfortably, but I know that some people like stiff mattresses so this may just have been my personal preferences. Outside of this, the space was cozy and David was friendly and easy to communicate with the entire visit.

David made us feel very welcome! The location was perfect! walking distance to wrigley field (a Starbucks is right across the street) and the Red Line is a block away.

I truly enjoyed my stay and everyone who lived there was so hospitable. I went out with 2 other ladies staying there on Friday night to see one of the residents perform at an improv show which was nice and spent the night talking and sipping tea with them in the beautiful common/living area. I will be returning again!! Thank you David.

I would recommend this listing if you're considering a visit to Chicago. The location is ideal since it's centrally located, has easy access to public transit, and the accommodations are refreshingly welcoming.The pictures you see online make this place look beautiful, but even so seeing it in person has a special charm. David's place was at once warm and inviting while managing to be interesting and subtly seductive, just like the city. Even with the residents going about their daily lives, the place is neat and organized. And for those of you with cat allergies, I should mention that I have substantial problems with this myself, but was very comfortable with the cat house-member (could be how well the cat is groomed). David is also extremely responsive to his guest's needs and does his best to be accommodating to any requests.

David has an amazing place. Beautifully designed and in a great location. Couldn't recommend it more.

The apt. was lovely. Clean had all the amenities including a hairdryer! It is in a very nice neighborhood

My friend and I wanted to stay in Chicago for Halloween and Wicker Park was a perfect area. There were a ton of places in walking distance to get food and drinks and the neighborhood was fun and safe to walk through. People in the area were extremely friendly and we ended up going to different Halloween parties with random strangers we met. We didn't get to meet Mindy or Tony but getting into the apartment was easy. The back yard is beautiful and perfect for having a cup of coffee before heading out in the morning, or relaxing in the evening. The interior was comfortable and exactly like the photos. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. They have a lot of accommodations like a TV, a stereo to play music through, an electric kettle for coffee/tea, and nice furniture. It was a perfect spot for us. You can tell they're professionals at managing their Airbnb. I would highly recommend!

What a great apartment, very comfortable and full of cool art! Loved the outdoor space! The neighbourhood was very convenient. Tony and Mindy were very welcoming. Would recommend and stay here again.

The Night Owl was a lovely home-from-home in Chicago - with super fun decor! The neighbourhood was nice and quiet. It's a reasonable distance from the city but only one or two buses to all the main attractions. Would definitely stay again!

This place was amazing. My wife and I came into Chicago for a few days and we couldn't have picked a better spot. The rooms are spotless and beautifully decorated. The neighbourhood offered us everything we needed while still being a quiet area outside of the city. It's also just a quick ride away from the Wicker Park/Bucktown areas. Mindy was a perfect hostess, making sure I was all set up and quickly responding to any questions we might have. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore Chicago without having to pay downtown prices. Thanks Mindy and Tony!

Tony and Mindy were easy to communicate with. The unit is on a nice block - low traffic, walking distance to a great Mexican restaurant, and has an awesome backyard for hanging out after a long day. The apt was clean and cozy.

We really enjoyed staying at Night Owl during out trip to Chicago. The apartment was clean and comfortable, with plenty of eclectic decor. Mindy and Tony were super helpful, leaving clear directions for apartment access and getting around the area. They really have their process down. It's a great place to stay if you're heading to Chicago.

Our stay here was wonderful. Mindy was extremely welcoming; the apartment was just as adorable as described and shown (just a note, because we didn't realize: there is no door to the bedroom); the backyard is amazing; and everything was incredibly clean. Mindy even went out of her way to get the place ready early for us. An excellent experience.

Loved this studio. Perfect space and view! Gary was very accommodating!

Very clean and tidy. The view is fantastic! Gary was very helpful throughout our stay at this place.

The studio was very cozy and clean with a great view! It was walking distance to many of Chicago's attractions and food spots. We didn't get to meet Gary, but we were given clear instructions on how to get inside the place and Gary/Gary's gf were very accessible via text/phone. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and we would recommend this place to anyone who is looking into visiting Chicago.

Beautiful, clean apartment in a great area. Gary and Jenny were great hosts and very accommodating. We would definitely stay there again!

Gary and Jenny were welcoming and flexible and kind. It was a complete pleasure to work with them. (And their place is stunning!)

Gary's place was very nice. Comfortable bed and it was a pretty huge studio with a nice smart tv. Super close to the train station and my office building, which is why I chose to stay here. Lots of take out type restaurants around too which was great. However, it was obvious airbnb was not allowed at this building. My check in instructions were to pretend to have forgotten my keys to get in, and he said it would be no big deal and security would let me through since he wasn't there to greet me. Cut to a half hour later when I had to speak to 3 other people, pretend I was visiting a friend, and when they looked up his name on their database it wasn't even on the apartment! I had to literally sneak in behind someone after security felt bad enough that they turned their head the other way. I'm sure checkin would be simple if Gary was there, but he didn't immediately respond to my texts when all this was happening, and it was kind of stressful and a huge hassle to get in.

Gary is a good host and everything is perfect.

Gary was a great host who provided us a space with great amenities and view! He was always prompt in answering our messages and provided some great food suggestions near the AirBnb. Would stay again!

Jason was an incredible host! Very kind and professional. His place is even better than the photos, beautiful view of the city (especially in the morning). I would 100% stay again! Perfect for couples! Clean, sophisticated and located in the best part of the city. Thank you for such a great stay Jason! My first air bnb experience was incredible thanks to you!!!!

Great

This condo is super clean, the view is so amazing! Jason was always available when we called or needed to text. He even saved us money on parking by downloading a suggested app! Overall Jason was the best host one could ask for. I would definitely stay in his condo again!

This place was perfect!! Great view and within waling distance of everything we wanted to see while here. Jason was awesome! Everything he said about the place was 100% spot on! We will be renting Jason's place again on our next trip to Chicago!

A great small apartment for a quick weekend away! The building was cool and close to where we wanted to go. The host was great and would rent again!

Jason was friendly, helpful and responsive to our needs. His place was clean, the location was great, and the views were spectacular. Highly recommend.

A nice spot if you need to stay in the west loop near downtown. Very clean and communication between with my host easy.

Jason was easy to communicate and made us feel right at home! He had coffee, extra towels, a lint roller, everything we needed. Even, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash! Jason literally thought of everything. This airbnb is such a great deal for the neighborhood, it's in a very nice secure building, with the most amazing view! The 24 hour Walmart is an added plus! The futon that folds down into a bed was so comfortable, which usually isn't the case with futons. Access to the laundry room is a great feature if you're planning on being in a Chicago and will need to do laundry! Will definitely stay again next time in Chicago :)

The room is very tidy n nice as described . We arrived late to the apartment but we found the guide to the community really helpful. It is located in a great community easily accessed to the airport. Thanks for the great experience.

Our stay with Michael was great! The whole apartment was clean and he was awesome with showing us around the place and the roof deck. The location was fantastic - right by the bus if that's what you want, but we drove around and it was very easy to get around based on the location of the apartment.

The moment we walked in the door we saw the beautiful Christmas tree. The penthouse was lovely and it had a great homey smell. :-) The description of the room was accurate and we felt very comfortable in this home. It was situated in a great location and we tried 2 of the eateries listed in the guide book and loved them both! The hosts were gracious and made us feel welcome. Michael was very response and attentive to my questions prior to us booking the penthouse. This was our first Airbnb experience and I hope future experiences are like this one!

The host provided clear and precise instructions for arrival and discharge, as well as, insured that I understood what was expected of me.

We liked our first experience with Airbnb. It is located in a quiet neighborhood at a walking distance from CTA Blue Line. Very convenient for commuting to places of interest. We tried some of the restaurants recommended by Michael and found them to be excellent. Both Michael and Rebecca are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely suggest this place to our friends.

Michael was very accommodating to my stay! I came in later in the evening and he told me if there was anything I needed to just let him know. He had a great welcome letter at bedside and also some great recommendations of places to visit. Very professional and courteous. He was so kind enough to let me keep my bags there the day of checkout as I wanted to explore the city without hailing around two heavy bags! Bathroom and bedroom were comfortable along with the awesome view of the Chicago skyline. Would definitely room again with them!

Michael and Rebecca's home is gorgeous. It was so luxurious and simple to organise for a last minute transit through Chicago. The roof deck was a wonderful place to eat dinner with great views of the Chicago skyline. They were both very welcoming and provided interesting looking local advice in a guide that I wish I had time to follow.

Michael was a wonderful host. He met us in the lobby, took us on a tour of the penthouse and roof deck (amazing view!), gave us the codes for the front door and apartment door, and then let us settle in. The penthouse is exactly as pictured and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom is right next door to the bedroom and was well-stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I really appreciated that there was a good hair dryer available, too. It was so nice to explore Chicago and feel like we had a home to go back to each night -- Bucktown became our neighborhood and the Blue Line became our favorite mode of transportation. One of our favorite parts of our trip was coming "home" from the museum of the day and finding Michael and his girlfriend watching one of our favorite TV shows. It had already started, but when they heard we liked it, they restarted it and we all watched it together like old friends. Laughing together made us feel right at home. This was a lovely place to stay and they were lovely people to meet!

George and Sean's apartment was clean and cozy, exactly like the pictures depict. I had the smaller bedroom, which was more than enough for me. The neighborhood is very nice- plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and boutique stores. The train station is literally next to the building, making getting around very easy. Overall, I enjoyed my stay thoroughly and I would recommend anybody this apartment!

Convenient location and tons of small shops/restaurants nearby. The hosts were very attentive and helpful throughout the stay. Highly recommend it!

Great location, nice atmosphere everything was according to the picture, although it's a room there was privacy

George is an excellent host. He and his brother were both very welcoming and helpful, and the apartment was clean, comfortable, and located in a great neighborhood.

It was my first experience with AirBnb and George mad it to a very successful and special experience...! The apartment was very beautiful and cute and I loved the neighborhood and that it was so close by the Brown Line, from where you can get to many places..! George was so nice and very kind! The communication in advance was so uncomplicated and he was very patience with my many questions...:) I'd love I could have stayed longer!

George was a fantastic host! He is a very friendly and courteous guy. His place is neat, tidy, and very trendy. The room, while on the small side, was extremely comfortable. While I enjoy sleeping to the sounds of the train at night, I suggest earplugs, if you are a light sleeper.

Staying with George was great. I mostly used the place as a crash pad and George was very accommodating. Noise from the train wasn't an issue for me, and I seriously enjoyed being able to take two steps to the brown line. I would definitely recommend staying here!

I had the privilege to stay in this amazing room! Despite the small size, it had everything I needed. I was welcomed by George & Sean and they are wonderful hosts! The location was very convenient as well. I would definitely recommend this room to others.

Very good attention from Fabian

Awesome experience! Fabian welcomed me and my friend and we felt very comfortable. The apartment and our room was very nice! I would definitely come back if I'm in Chicago again

fabian is extremely responsive and answers questions immediately. he even checks in on you when you go a while without talking to him. the apartment is nice and everything looked the way it did in the pictures. i was lucky enough to reserve a room when no-one else booked their stay in the apartment so i had the whole place to myself. someone else showed up only a few hours before i was scheduled to checkout. only down side is that the floors creak a lot (given the age of the building) and water pressure in the shower is nonexistent. word of advice for tourists; realize that this place is way up north, so if you are coming to chicago so you can visit downtown and surrounding areas, commuting to (while walking) and on the redline is a good 50 minutes one-way.

Fabian is a perfect host, he is very accommodating, very friendly and quickly respond to messages or any questions you can ask yourself. The apartment is exactly like the pictures, it's a really beautiful place. The premises are very clean, as the room that common. Everything is organized to make you feel good. You have at your disposal many locations only for you; to store your belongings, your clothes or your food. On transport, many buses and metros nearby, you will then have 30 minutes to get into downtown Chicago. The neighborhood is adorable, and is a 15-minute walk from Lake Michigan. My stay was very pleasant and Fabian is really a great host, I highly recommend it!

Good place, clean and tidy

Great apartment, adorable, very clean and in a nice quiet area. It is a bit far from downtown (which is what I was looking for) but public transportation is nearby and uber is always available.

Fabian's place is super sweet. Well appointed, has all of the essentials, and close to public transit. Fabian is excellent at communicating and solving whatever issues. Ditto previous comment about the water pressure, though. One morning there wasn't enough for the shower to turn on, but shower worked all other times. I stayed for 3 night's, but would come back for a longer and/another stay. In addition, can't beat the price!

very good!clean room and nice decorated! Fabian gave us everything we need. Just try to get there before 5 or 6 pm if you driving, otherwise it's hard to find a free parking lot downstairs. I'd like to recommend here!!!
