Walkable to so much of what Chicago has to offer, this spacious townhouse is located on a quiet, safe neighborhood street in historic Old Town.
4 bedrooms, 4 baths, 2 outdoor spaces, fully stocked kitchen, 1-car parking, and laundry. Pets are welcome! What else could you possibly need?

Please turn to the photos to get enchanted by this stunning space but also to see the floor plan with layout and sleeping arrangements.

• Private enclosed front yard and a balcony
• Full kitchen on the first floor plus kitchenette and bar on the top floor

**OTHER AMENITIES**
✦ washers and dryer

**EXTRAS**
• late check out at 1 pm- $125
• early check in at 1 pm- $125
• worry free cleaning package- $125. Please read the details at the bottom.
IMPORTANT: I am unable to charge your account for the additional services. Please contact me in advance to arrange payment through Vrbo.

**BEDS**
- 7 queens
- 1 double futon, 1 queen floor mattresses, 1 couch and a crib

**SMALL PRINT**
✦ The brown line train is nearby and you can hear it in some parts of the house. You can also sometimes here the guests in the townhouse next door.
✦ There is another rental on the property. The two share a wall but do not share any spaces inside and have separate entrances.

**ACCESSIBILITY**
There are 14 steps from the main floor to second floor bedrooms

**WORRY FREE CLEANING PACKAGE**
At check out, you will need to take care of trash overflow, dishes, exuberant messes, and any food you brought. The worry free package covers any and all cleaning. Just walk out in the morning (you do need to move furniture back if you make any changes to layout). Note that this fee is additional to my regular cleaning fee you pay when you book the place. This package is best for those who want to decorate, cook a lot, are traveling as a group and would rather split the extra fee than worry about anything in the morning.

**HOUSE RULES**
The presence of more than 18 guests is unlawful. A guest is anyone at the property, staying the night, or just visiting. Minors need to have a responsible adult present. Unredacted ID will need to be provided for primary booker prior to your arrival for advance reservations and for everyone spending any time at the property for reservations made less than 30 days in advance. There is a counter installed. I utilize a private security firm. If the counter shows more than the registered number of people or if I get a noise complaint from neighbors, security will be immediately dispatched.

**DECORATING THE HOUSE**
You are welcome to decorate the house. If you attach anything to the walls, please use paint-safe tape and remove it prior to your departure. There is a $200 glitter and confetti fee.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The house is in east Old Town- best neighborhood in Chicago for both families or if you are looking to have fun. While the street itself is very quiet, tree lined and barely has cars passing by, as soon as you turn the corner, you are in the center of everything! Wells street restaurants and bars are steps away. Lincoln Park with the zoo, farm, pond, open spaces and farmers market is a 7-10 min. walk. North avenue beach is the same distance. It is perfect for walks, picnics, boat rides or good old fun in the sand. The beaches are free to the public and have breathtaking city views. Grocery shopping is made easy, seeing as Plum Market and Jewel are located right in the neighborhood. Nearby coffee shops include a 24 hour Starbucks and La Fournette. There are 103 restaurants within a 15 minute walk including some of Chicago's top restaurants including Kamehachi, Topo Gigio, The Fireplace Inn, and Woodies Flat. Bars and lounges are abundant on Wells and are all 1-2 minute walk. Shopping in Old Town is a unique experience; the majority of shops in this neighborhood are boutiques rather than well-known chain stores. Therefore, each and every store is cozy, intimate and filled with one-of-a-kind goods. The Lincoln Park Zoo is a world of wildlife in the shadow of skyscrapers. The Second City only two blocks away and it is a famous theater that specializes in sketch comedy and improv, and has been delighting audiences for over 50 years. Oak street and beginning of Michigan avenue is about 15-20 minute walk.

GETTING AROUND:
The house is a five minute walk from the Brown Line and the Purple Line at the Sedgwick stop and an eight minute walk from Red line at Clark. It takes be about 15 min to walk to Michigan Ave and Wells street bars are a minute away. Buses and cabs are also easily accessible. It is about a 3 minute drive to get onto Lake Shore drive at LaSalle and about 8 minutes to Kennedy expressway at North Avenue.

WILDLIFE:
You will encounter wildlife while staying at the property. Here is what you can expect most commonly:
Spiders and ants are common in Chicago. They get as high as 95th floor of John Hancock building. While we do our best to combat them, it is nearly impossible during high season.
Bees, wasps, yellow jackets are abundant throughout the city. While we take care of any nests on the property, I cannot control them in the air and beyond my boundaries.

The house is best for bachelor, bachelorette and friend groups as well as business travelers. It is not child proof.

Great stay for a Chicago weekend

Great choice for a weekend with friends in Chicago. We were relatively close to Wrigley, Second City, and the bars up and down Wells in Old Town. Plus we could easily take the L to downtown for museums and a boat tour on the river.The house had great bedrooms, beds were comfy and bathrooms were modern and well-appointed.Would stay here again if I ever had a big enough group.Host was very communicative and helped us throughout our stay with making things easier. Felt very welcome.

Perfect for a family trip to Chicago

This was so great for our family of five, with three teens. It’s so convenient to public transportation and easy access to all of the Chicago attractions. This is a wonderful property with everything we could have possibly needed. Our kids loved the third level which is so big it’s like another apartment. We’d love to stay here again on our next visit to Chicago.

Family Wedding Weekend

Ten of us stayed in this townhouse over wedding weekend. Location was great to go all the places we wanted (up to Lincoln Park and Wrigley, over to West Loop and down to Mag Mile/Loop and Millenium Park). Having several queen beds was very helpful to give everyone a place to sleep having several bathrooms with showers worked out very well. Having first floor space to gather and make simple meals was perfect. The host was very responsive and helpful. I often wish the beds in rental homes were more comfortable - and that was true here too. My 55 year old body needs a comfortable mattress for a good nights sleep. Overall - a great stay.
