In short, being just 2 blocks from the Red Line train, with easy access to three bus routes (one of which stops right out in front of the building) and the Kennedy and Lake Shore Drive Expressways, there is nowhere you can't get to in pretty much a straight shot.

We're 3 minutes from the North/Clybourn Red line and around the corner from the #8 Halsted bus.

We are always there for you!! Communication prior to arrival and trhough check-out will be via a private WhatsApp chat group that we setup for your group. For larger non-family groups, we request everyone be added to it - this avoids issues with arrival, check-in and offers you immediate responses from our team during your stay. This ensures a great stay!

If you're heading to Chicago and looking to be near downtown but want a more neighborhood experience with friendly, knowledgeable transcontinental hosts, our amazing, bright and sunny 1800 square foot loft just might be the perfect fit for you.

What a bright and open space! The property is well kept and feels like a home not like just a weekend rental. The owners were very accommodating and lovely. The layout is nice and the kitchen was well stocked. There is a bus stop just steps away from the door. I would definitely recommend this as a base when visiting Chicago.

Magic Indeed

I’ve been a VRBO member for over two decades and this is in my top two properties of all time. The apartment is spacious, beautifully appointed and perfectly laid out for a large family gathering. The decoration throughout the space is fun and thoughtful and incredibly eclectic. The location is perfect for anyone who wants to be in the action but have a little solitude at the end Of the day. Better shopping and dining than Michigan Ave. without the traffic and crowds. And on top of all this goodness, by far the clearest and most consistent communication I’ve EVER experienced in vacation rentals. We can’t wait to come back!

Family Reunion

This property was perfect for our family reunion. Carole and Basil were very helpful and checked in with us to make sure all was going well. The living space was just as described. It is a lovely kitchen and living area with wonderful artwork and amenities. It was very nice that Carole arranged a wheelchair for my dad at no extra charge. Definitely recommend this property.

Girl Weekend

Carole and Basil’s apartment is beautiful, spacious and in a lovely neighborhood. 7 ladies were visiting Chicago for a bday celebration and had a wonderful time. The apartment was the perfect size for our group. Had a few communication issues I think due to the company that the owner sets their booking up through and seemed to miss some emails back and forth. But Carole did share a lot of information about the area and had some nice recommendations. Would absolutely recommend

Was exactly as advertised. Hosts were very gracious and happy to help with anything you may need. Myself and three of my friends stayed here to attend concerts at The Salt Shed. Was only a mile from the venue so we were able to walk to and from the show.

Spacious, quiet and centrally located

This was a great place to stay for our group of 5 friends. The kitchen and living area had plenty of room for hanging out comfortably. The hosts were always available close-by but out of sight. The kitchen was very well stocked and had a lot of basics. Even though we didn’t cook at all, we could have easily done so with everything they had on-hand. It was super-easy to grab an uber anywhere in the city for a quick ride, or walk to nearby shops for a quick restock. Definitely a place I’d want to return to stay at again!
