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!

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.

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.

Luxe-Haus of Love—The 1938 Cape Cod |Heated FLRS |
We had a great stay. So many great spaces in the house for a group of working adults. Everyone had a desk or comfortable place to set up laptops. The house was fresh and smelled wonderful from the wood burning fireplace/fire pit.

Sleepy sanctuary
EJ’s place was a perfect base for us to explore the surrounding area. In a quiet, charming neighborhood that we enjoyed walking each morning and evening. Well equipped for a family with kids, with big bedrooms, a lovely kitchen and living space. EJ was friendly, super responsive and an all around great host. We highly recommend this space and will be sure to come back soon!

Awesome staying. He is a great guy and his family are so nice too. I definitely recommend this staying!!!

Peaceful Bolingbrook Getaway
Eric’s home was a great place to stay while we were in the Chicago area. The house is in a cute little neighborhood, which judging by the amount of Christmas lights on the houses, is family-friendly and felt totally safe. 11/10 recommend booking your stay with Eric!!

R3 Comfy private room overlooking the forestland.
A great place to relax

Entire House Minutes from O’Hare Airport!! By lake
Very comfy home. We loved the 2 living rooms with the bigger tvs. Will say the kids beds were very hard, I don't think kids would mind but the adults had a hard time. We enjoyed the kitchen honestly. So much space and it was very clean. Having 2 bathrooms was also a huge plus also!! Thank you for having us!!

It was a great stay. It was fun and there were lot of board games to play and have fun in the night. It would definitely recommend this place if you are visiting chicago and want to explore downtown and north side of Chicago.

Tranquil Lakefront Cottage: sleeps 4.
Great home next to a lake and park. Made this home our base for our Chicago family to come meet our new baby. Lots of parking and outdoor areas. Both bedrooms were large so it fit all the baby stuff. Host answered back within 15min usually. Place was very clean. Plenty of extra towels and pillows. Bathroom was a little small but had a nice bath tub. Kitchen had plenty of supplies which made us feel at home. The lake was 20 steps away and the playground a quick 4min walk. There was also a Portillos and Stores located within a mile.

Home in Chicago
I couldn’t have dreamt up a better place for my family and I to stay for my sister’s graduation weekend. This place was even better than the photos and description. It was less a quick 5 minute drive to campus, & in a peaceful neighborhood, a short drive to the beach and downtown. The home was a GORGEOUS 3 story brownstone with a basement entertainment room. It was very spacious on the inside, so my family and I could spread out. The house was very clean with modern fixtures, with immaculate bedding and bathrooms; it felt like a nice hotel. There were several living rooms, each bedroom had a lock/key option, big closets and 2 of the 4 bedrooms are masters with attached bathrooms. It had a car garage, and 5 bathrooms in total (3 full, 2 halves), which my family of 6 appreciated. It had everything we needed to be comfortable, including household supplies and utensils so we could prepare food. I highly recommend this place, it’s a gem. Tarek was an awesome, helpful, and attentive host!

Exec Lux home wth 3 Level,6 Bdrms/3bth & 2 Kitchen
This is a Beautiful Home, with a peaceful atmosphere. A Great place to walk into and relax after a long trip, and spacious enough for a small group to enjoy one another's company without feeling overcrowded. 2 Full Refrigerators and 2 Full size stoves makes this location a rare find.

*Univ of Chicago 3 bedroom cozy modern Greystone
Robin is a lovely host and has a gorgeous home- feels much larger than the pictures and is beautifully decorated. Tons of space for a large group. We ran into a problem with the AC and refrigerator and Robin was extremely responsive and proactive in getting everything taken care of and taken care of quickly. The street this house is on feels safe and the neighbors were kind. It was perfect for a long weekend!

Full House - Amazing sunset lake park
Place was great to stay! Jimmy is very responsive, helped us with an early check-in to get people from the airport into the airbnb.

Executive Contemporary Duplex
We had a WONDERFUL time at Olusesan's place! It was spotless, very comfortable, and well worth the price. He was also very responsive! If you are picky about where you stay, I HIGHLY suggest this Airbnb. It is immaculate. We can't wait to stay here again!
