Gorgeous brownstone (somehow still secluded?!) in the heart of Chicago. Walking distance to everything. House can comfortably fit 20 people. We did not have any issues finding the back ally/garage (with ownerâs behind the scenes instructions) & felt very safe/secure during our 3 night stay. We highly recommend renting especially to groups with multiple families. So much space for gathering together or separate/alone time. We hosted multiple get togethers with our local family/friends & they were blown away by location, size & beauty. The âbasementâ or garage entry level has entirely separate living corridor equipped w/a 2nd kitchen, living room & bedroom/sleeping spaces & access to laundry room during your stay! Our party of 5 didnât even use the basement bc of how much available sleeping/living space there was on the 2nd & 3rd floors! Owners Jeff & Athena are remarkable & truly have a hidden treasure in downtown Chicago. We feel so lucky we got to stay in their amazing home and hope we can go back again one day!
Check-in was seamless, the home was spotless and had plenty of room for hosting friends for bachelorette weekend! Loved the outdoor area, size of the bedrooms, and double living rooms. Kitchen was well-stocked and easy to cook simple meals. Would stay again!
I will start with the positives.... the kitchen is a nice gathering spot for a large group and very well stocked. It is 2 blocks from a grocery store (Jewel). It slept a party of 10 with 3 1/2 baths that were fine with plenty of towels. However, we came through the downstairs to get in the first thing I saw was a FILTHY carpet in the bedroom and family room with a disgusting couch so not a very good first impression. It appears that the walls haven't been painted in years with chips everywhere and the furniture is old and falling apart. I should have known it was a party house since it advertises that it sleeps 24! I did complain to the owner and he was very responsive and gave us a small refund. The pictures shown are not representative of what the house looks like in real life and because it has not been kept up I cannot give it a 5 star rating.
House was very roomy, but needs a quiet a lot of updating- kitchen cabinets falling down, faucets leaking. Not very clean. The deck and walkways were full of debris and leaves. Tables were dirty and sticky. The hood stove was full of grease- we didnât want to cook in this home. The mattresses in all rooms need to be thrown out- some were lumpy, while others felt like you were sleeping on box springs.. The air was not working well either. Plug in Fans needed to be used. Very disappointing.
It was very nice, accommodations were great for the entire family and the small event we held on Sunday was a great success. One small favor - a more firmer mattress in the master bedroom! Thanks.
This was a great house for our Girls Week 2025! We had plenty of room for the 7 of us. The kitchen had many utensils, dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and everything we needed for our 5-day stay. Jeff, the owner, was responsive and his communication with us was fantastic. We used Lyft to get to our various venues and it was fast and reasonably priced. Restaurants and grocery stores are nearby. I would highly recommend this house.
Great locationâclose to everything and very convenient. However, the interior feels pretty outdated, and the beds and couches were all uncomfortable. With some updates, this place could be much better. Decent stay overall, but not the most comfortable. Totally serviceable for a group of younger/less picky people.
Great house, clean, lots of room to spread out. Five minute walk to groceries, shopping, coffee. Great little Mexican restaurant is a 1-minute walk (BYOB).
Great location, lots of space for gathering and hanging out. Tons of sleeping areas, air mattresses couches, futons, etc. Great for large groups of adults. Caution: Lots of stairs.
Well located. Large common areas. Plenty of bedrooms. Food and specialty stores including Whole Foods, Paulinaâs Meat Market, Asian Markets) within driving distance. Mass transit nearby. A park across the street on which we played our 55 th Annual Turkey Bowl.
This is a very spacious, well appointed, super clean property. The host was super responsive and the communication was great. The location is located in a great neighborhood.
Appreciated the spaciousness of the house. Was a convenient location for us. Lots of stairs so might be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. Great chefs kitchen and nice outdoor space.
The pictures and information were spot on. The house is spacious, perfectly located and very nice.
If I had to be picky, the ice maker didn't work/dispenseđ.
Seriously there is place is perfect for families. Our son got married this weekend and the house made for a stress free weekend!
Thank you!
This was such an awesome stay! We came out for family wedding with the family. Lots of space for all of us and was completely as pictured. We loved it! Thank you!!!!
The property has great potential and we had a good time. We expected light bulbs to work, stove to be clean, showers to be cleaner. a clean deck, jets did not work in tub, down fridge was either not cold enough or it froze things, grounds in the coffee pot when we arrived, one sink stopper in master bath is broken. We do not want to sound overly harsh but we have rented a lot of houses and were a little disappointed.

PRIVATE SINGLE FAMILY HOME!!! Not a condo - not a high rise. This is a true single family home with a secure fenced in yard. Great for people who don't want to be hassled!!! The house was built in 2003 it is not an old building which has been rehabbed.
