Luxurious Lincoln Park Home with Gourmet Kitchen
Daniel’s place in Lincoln Park was spectacular. The location is prime. The accommodations were perfect for my large family. Easily walkable. He was a great host.

Sheridan Beach Apartment
This property is beautiful and cozy, and it's within walking distance to many attractions. The beach and coffee shops are just a couple of examples. Our host, Amy, provided excellent hospitality; she is very informative, friendly, and checked in periodically to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. I would definitely come back to this place again! 🤍

The Wine Down
Great apartment well decorated and felt at home,super comfortable couch and beds,I would book this spot every time when I’m in Chicago,also accommodated us for the WiFi going down which was superb

Cozy Chicago Apartment next to the River
We thouroughly enjoyed our stay in this cozy home during our visit to Chicago for St Patrick Day weekend! Additionally, it it really close to everything you would want to see downtown. Albert and Monica were great hosts and easy to communicate with and provided some great recommendations. Would defentily recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay during your trip to Chicago!

Cozy 1BR in South Loop | Convenience in the City
Great place to stay! Can get anywhere in the city, its right off the "L". Not far from Michigan Ave, either. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who is traveling to Chicago.

Elegant 2-bed/2-bath in the heart of Uptown
We chose Seun's place over others because of the off the street garage. However, the whole stay was enjoyable and comfortable. The place doesn't have the extra amenities we have gotten used to, like for example bottled water, first breakfast goodies (cereal bars, coffee) or snacks, other than whatever was left by prior guests. that was the only thing we missed.

This stay in Evanston was so convenient! It was a 15 minute walk from the Purple line, which made it easy to get to the city. The beach was also beautiful and it was only a 2 minute walk!

HUGE & BRAND NEW BEACH Apartment is Ready For You!
Liz’s Airbnb was a perfect base of operations for me and my husband. The space was roomy and comfortable. We were gone lots for events around a family member’s birthday, but also enjoyed our time at and around the Airbnb. We especially enjoyed Loyola Beach, a short walk from Liz’s place. Lake Michigan water temps were lovely.

Renovated space in a historic row house.
We booked this room for my sister who was visiting family with us. Having stayed here ourselves before over the holidays, we knew it was just the right thing for her. She was very comfortable and slept well.

Lakefront Prospect Heights Home: Ice Fish On-Site
The place was perfect for our needs in Chicago. It’s well kept, up to date, and fits the description.

CasaNova Modern City Living
Lilly was prompt in her responses and very helpful. The place was well kept and clean. A quick Uber ride to downtown. Our group really enjoyed our stay!!

Sunny,Comfortable,CleanTop Location at Lake,Beach
Th convenient location with parking can’t be beat. The room and bathroom are well-appointed, and the bed is comfortable. Jane is responsive, gracious, and accommodating. She’s my favorite AirBnB host I’ve ever met! I’m hoping my travel plans allow me another opportunity to stay here again. Thanks for the hospitality and a place to stay!

Lakefront View Getaway Home! Hot tub! Kayak!
We had a fantastic weekend at Hugo's place! It was extremely spacious and well-equipped for large groups of people, with many extras in addition to those listed in the description. Hugo was extremely responsive and accommodating. The price is well worth it for groups of 10+ people, and we would happily stay there again.

Comfortable private room near Lake and transit.
We found our stay with Paula to be absolutely delightful and better than if we had a place all to ourselves. She was generous, responsive, and helpful in many ways. We could not have had a nicer, better hostess and we look forward to staying with her the next time we visit Chicago.

Spacious house patio/free parking
Accurate photos of the place, everything felt very new. Responsive host.

Historic Manor House Private Room #1 in Evanston
I can’t praise this place enough. Not only was it more beautiful than the pictures, but Janet also provided amenities above and beyond what was listed. She provided towels, sunscreen, and a beach pass and the house is in walking distance to Lake Michigan. She was always quickly able to answer any questions and was readily available. Janet really tries to make the space feel at home and provides you with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I was surprised by the quality and ease of the entire stay, and the room was gorgeous (lots of natural light and plenty of privacy). I HIGHLY recommend this location for an Evanston visit (walking distance to downtown and the lake) as well as the excellent service I received from Janet.

Studio flat in the heart of Chicago's Gold Coast
The Price was PERFECT for this beautiful location of GOLD COAST!!

HUGE Modern, 1BD Home Office, Chef's Kitchen Patio
Cannot speak highly enough of this space! It was HUGE! Beautiful and very convenient! The Red line and Green Line train stations are both within easy walking distance. From either we could get to anywhere we wanted to go with transfers. The Hosts were responsive and flexible with an early check in(with a fee) and understanding when we woke up late and checked out 20 minutes late. They had several recommendations for places to eat, see and things to do. Hope to be back!

Where you want to BE! Stylish, Comfy, Luxe
This has to be the best AirBnB we have stayed at. The apartment was like home from home, super clean and exceeded our expectations. The location of the apartment is a short walk from the L, has everything you need within a 5 minute walk and is in a great neighbourhood. John, the host, is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble and he gives some great recommendations of local restaurants/ activities. I would highly recommend this apartment if you are in Chicago - we are sure to be back!

Spacious Wicker Park Hideaway with Parking!
This place is near so many spots it was awesome! to go down and get food right below or just walking across the street and grabbing some food. the place was very well cleaned, had great spots just to sit and chill. beds very comfortable, rooms very spacious. water pressure can be very in and out sometimes but water was warm/hot and lasted a full shower.

River North Hideaway w/Amazing Views and Parking
We loved everything about this place, especially the location. Walkable to everything! The condo was lovely, perfect for our family to stay.

Bronzeville Tribe Palace Loft
Beautiful building and a beautiful space! My family and I really enjoyed our stay. We had more than enough space and everyone was comfortable. Richard was very accommodating we would definitely stay again!

Elegant Hideaway in the Heart of Andersonville
We enjoyed our long weekend at William's place in Andersonville. It is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and super clean. It was nice having so many great restaurants and shops right down the block. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook. Would definitely stay here again!

Cozy Studio Apt near the lake on the Northside
The place was perfect for a solo stay. Has everything you need and easy to get around the rest of the city or suburbs. Very close to the lake and the el. Parking was also super easy. Niah and Ken were super responsive and helpful for anything I needed.
