Cool apartment and fun neighborhood

I stayed with two friends, and it was a really fun time. I’d never stayed in this neighborhood, but it was pretty lively with lots of places to walk to eat. We were slightly confused about the parking situation when we first arrived, but the owner was communicative, and the space made sense once we got into the apartment and could see that we were in the right spot. The living space is really large and functional, and we loved having some privacy with the bedrooms where they were placed. The on-site laundry was great as well. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

Cool Rock N Roll Stay

Very cool space. Great location near Red Line (1/3 mile walk) and Brown/Purple Line (200 meters walk) Included parking spot was a huge bonus. Owners were very responsive in communication. It is a 2nd floor apartment and there is not an elevator - stairs are a bit steep.

Best place in chicago!

Ive stayed at a few rentals in chicago. This was by far the most unique and best place. Property owner was extremely friendly and easy to contact. Place was clean and we loved all the decor. We used the record player and loved all the records. Felt safe the whole time. The rooms were dark which was great for us sleeping in. We were going to watch a football game at a bar but decided to stay and watch at the rental bc it was so cute & the tv was big! We will be back :)

Great location in the River North

Unique apartment in the River north, close to Rush st, local restaurants, and fun! The apartment is a bit noisy during the day, with a restaurant below that has outdoor music. But, we weren’t in the apartment much in the day. However, there is a newer night club upstairs next to us that disrupted sleep on Friday and Saturday; the owner assured me that it was a new problem and they would be working on dealing with it. I hope they do because the place otherwise was great!

Weekend Get Away

Brought our son to Chicago to attend a Riot Fest for his Birthday; and was very pleased with the unit we rented. Not to mention the decor was very fitting as the apartment had awesome rock n roll memorabilia throughout. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. we walked out the front door and was in the middle of downtown Chicago. All you had to do was hope on an electric bike to get wherever you wanted to go. Conveniently, the electric bikes were also located on the corner right by the apartment. Definitely would stay again and highly recommend. Also, I have sent a private message inquiring on a few pieces of jewelry I left behind. If you could please help me to retrieve those I would be most grateful. Thank you so much!

Spacious and well-equipped condo in convenient location

We were traveling with our adult son and girlfriend and really appreciated having the extra room in this spacious condo. The kitchen was well-equipped, even though we didn't cook! Loved the high ceilings and the large living area and windows. Close to the train station (brown line), with a Starbucks, Dunkin and Walgreens right across the street. Walkable to red line and Michigan Ave. Two things to note--the restaurant downstairs is closed and vacant, so the front of the building doesn't match the exterior photos. There's also a fairly steep staircase to the condo. Honestly, coming in the first time, it didn't look great! BUT the inside of the condo is exactly as pictured and lovely. Also, since you're in the the city and next to the train, you're going to have street noise, including at night. This wasn't unexpected and wasn't a problem for us. Overall, we had a great time, appreciated that almost everything was there for us (coffee, shampoo, towels, extra blankets & pillows, etc) and loved having the extra space!

Just simply amazing in every possible way!!

Honestly, and truthfully, this is just a great location for any and all things Chicago! Half a block away from the brown line and only a few blocks away from the red line, you can get almost anywhere in the city without driving. We parked our vehicle upon arriving and didn’t touch it until we left. Everything we wanted to do was in walking distance or we took the train. The Air and Water show was about a 10 minute walk. Old Town is about a 10 minute walk. The main bar and restaurant area of River North is well under a 10 minute walk. Chinatown was 10 min and Soldier Field was 15 min on the red line. How awesome is that?!?! There is an awesome club called The Chalet right next-door that is a great time to hang out with wonderful people. The Soul & Vegan restaurant right beneath the location has incredible food (I mean chicken and waffles? Yes!). There are three coffee shops within 2 blocks if that is more your vibe. As far as the actual rental. It’s everything you think it will be in more. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The couch and other furniture is all extremely comfortable too. Tons of space to hang out and extremely clean. As the listing clearly states, the stairs on the way up are a little steep but easily manageable for most. The location is very safe. There is some city noise in the living room, but the bedrooms are very quiet. Dean (the host) is very responsive and helpful!!
