Toca Bella love

Such a cute and homey place!! Me and my partner absolutely adored staying here. Area is nice and about a 10-15 minute walk from the green line which takes us right into the city. The host was super communicative and direct with instructions which was much appreciated. The environment was so cozy and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Home away from home.

My girlfriend and I loved this home, it was exactly like the pictures plus more in person. This lovely home made us feel at home. The host is very attentive and understanding. This was my first home I booked on Vrbo and I would love to book this stay everytime I need a vacation.This home is remarkable and made us feel at home. Thank you to the host again allowing us to enjoy our vacation in this sophisticated, comfortable home. I love it.

Great stay in Bronzeville

The property was as advertised. We had a private apartment with easy access and no hassles. The neighborhood was very clean and quiet. We parked right outside and there was always space. The location is very accessabe by public transportation. The # 3 King Drive and # 4 Cottage Grove buses go to downtown Michigan Ave. The "el" is an easy walk to either the 43rd Street station or 40th & Indiana station. The Lakefront is close by and great for walks and biking.White Sox Park is only two miles and McCormick place is one exit down Lakeshore Drive. Hyde Park is also close. The area is primarily residential bot there were a few nearby restaurants notably the Bronzeville Winery on Cottage Grove and Truth Italian on Pershing (39th) for breakfast. I will stay here again. Access to Chicago is easy.
