About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Magic Factory Loft 2East 4 Bd/3 Ba Families Groups

This is THE place to stay for all things Chicago.
Everything you need is here:

* Fabulous well stocked chef's kitchen
* Extra large dining table
* Cable TV, superfast Wifi
* Spacious open plan lets you spread out & still visit.
* Elevator, single level home, no stairs!
* Our small property is the antedote to big hotel lobbies with lots of shared spaces.
* As live on site owners, our committment to your health and safety is PERSONAL.

Please note the frontline rate shown on some listing sites is for our minimum number of guests and may not include EXTRA guest fees or taxes or the housekeeping fee. Your final quote will include those totals. Pricing is always based on the number of guests.

Bachelor & Bachelorette groups love our space - but note that as live in owner's we're pretty particular about welcoming only the best behaved, so if your group is looking for a beautiful, comfortable space, and especially if you imagine sitting together around the dining table over a dinner or brunch together (we can even suggest local caterers) - we are THE vacation rental for you!
**If you're a group that's coming ONLY to bar hop and party all night - we might not be the space for you.... (we're a family friendly building and aren't keen on lots of drunken guests stumbling in at 3 AM ;-( **

Located at the crossroads of Lincoln Park - Old Town & River North - Old Town Chicago, Mag Mile, Fulton Market, Wicker Park & Wrigleyville are all just minutes away - without any of the urban noise and congestion.

This is a private apartment. You'll have access to all of the amenities listed. And for those who don't like stairs - you'll love that our Magic Factory Loft Two East is all on one level (and access to it is provided by elevator).

Located in Chicago's newest neighborhood - 'SONO', at the crossroads of Lincoln Park - Old Town & River North - we are just two blocks south of Chicago’s “little Michigan Avenue” and on the Halsted Street busline, the North Avenue & Division street buses as well as the North/Clybourn Red Line and the Sedgwick Brown Line. In short, there is nowhere you can't get to in pretty much a straight shot.

If you’re heading to Chicago and looking to be near downtown but want a more neighborhood experience with friendly, knowledgeable transcontinental hosts, our home on Halsted just might be the perfect fit for you.

We are always there for you!! Communication prior to arrival and trhough check-out will be via a private WhatsApp chat group that we setup for your group. For larger non-family groups, we request everyone be added to it - this avoids issues with arrival, check-in and offers you immediate responses from our team during your stay. This ensures a great stay!

The neighborhood is great: Vibrant and alive, with plenty to do, to eat, to drink & to be entertained by: Plus, everything you need is right here: We've got the second largest Whole Foods market around the corner with it's fabulous food court (5 dining options) and tables along the riverfront, a great neighborhood pub & wine bar, as well as Marino's Market and a Super Target for shopping.

When your stomach growls food options abound from great casual places like Uncle Julio's, Nando's PeriPeri, Earl's, Tecalitlan Mexican Kitchen & Margarita Bar as well as Mouse Trap / Off Color Brewery's taproom along with Goose Island Brewery if you'd like to sample a local Chicago beer. There's also a several great live theater venues up the street including Steppenwolf as well as comedy & improv stages at the Second City. The Mag Mile, Millennium Park, Chicago's amazing lakefront and Navy Pier, as well as the city's finest museums are all just minutes away - but you're still in a funky friendly neighborhood with great little local shops & cafes as opposed to being in the high rise heartland. Sports fans will love our proximity to Wrigley Field (3 stops on the train) and Soldier's Field and the United Center are minutes by car or cab.

Excellent long weekend stay in Chicago
Our group thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay. The space was large, well maintained, and provided a great base to visit Chicago for a long weekend. The hosts were excellent with all communications, provided a friendly experience at check-in, and made our stay memorable. Book it and you will enjoy!

Family Reunion for Memorial
My four siblings and their families transcended on Chicago - 12 total - to attend a multi-memorial event. This was a PERFECT place - comfort, size and location - to have the entire family under one roof. Even though we came together for solemn event, the accommodations made it a memorable and joyous occasion as we were able to gather together to remember our aunts and uncle who are now no longer with us

Good location and good times
We stayed here for lollapalooza and we’re pleased with the Vrbo. The location is fantastic and the management team was nice. My group was a bit loud the last night but the management team handled it quite well in being respectful of both my group and the others who complained. I’d recommend this place

AWESOME Walkable Location!
We loved how walkable the area was and how secure our loft felt. TONS of beds and extras with the trundles underneath. Pictures don’t do the space justice, honestly. Perfect for a low-key bachelorette party (a group of 14). Basil is kind and a quick communicator.

Urban Oasis
The Magic Factory loft was a great space for our family to gather for our long weekend together exploring Chicago. The open floor plan allowed the 10 of us to enjoy our brief time together. It had everything you could need and it had a beautiful view of the city. The owners were very helpful and helped us feel at home and very safe. The appliances were good quality, the beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of bathrooms. The space was perfect for us to stage our adventures out into the city, close to everything, but on a nice quiet street.

Girls weekend
Great spot with easy access. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the loft. It was perfect for the 9 of us, esp the living area and kitchen. The street area and neighborhood were safe and quiet, so we all slept well. The beds were comfy as well! Carole and Basil were great hosts and took the time to explain everything we needed to know abt the area. We Ubered or walked everywhere with no problem. Great access to shopping and eating within a couple blocks. Street parking is very limited but free. Overall a great space and location for a larger group!!!

In Chicago for Taylor Swift
We had a group of 10 in Chicago for the Taylor Swift concert. The loft is really nice and clean. Very spacious. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. It's close to train and bus stops, but also close enough to popular spots that the cost of an Uber was reasonable, especially for a group our size. The owners were flexible with our check-in and check-out times, they even held our bags after check-out so we could continue to explore the city before our train out of town. Even before arriving, they sent an email with instructions, that also included helpful information about what restaurants and stores were close by. All in all, it was a good experience.

Grandmother's Memory Maker
Fantastic, WONDERFUL!! Our Magic Factory Loft was spacious, comfortable, & clean. The owners provided many extras & excellent, detailed suggestions for locations of necessities, restaurants, & transportation. Everything within 2 blocks & safe neighborhood. We enjoyed all the restaurant suggestions. We used only public transportation except for uber to & from the airport. I brought 2 daughters & 7 grandchildren ages 7-18 years. We've made memories & will have dreams for years to come❤ My special gratitude to Carole & her staff for such gracious hospitality 🤗

perfect girls getaway home base!
went with a group of 7. PLENTY of room-- space to hang out, ample bathrooms, everyone got their own bed. the apartment is well stocked & Carole is very easy to reach if you need anything-- for example, we wanted more blankets & she was ON IT. sleek, modern furnishings. as of May 2016, it's a walk up (elevator is being installed in a few months) & no window coverings in the living room. super close to a small mall that has affordable & accessible restaurants (we had some pretty serious food restrictions in our group & everyone found something good!)-- LYFE Kitchen, Yard House. Bowling alley, but we never went. movie theater nearby, too. Mainstream grocery store (forget the name!) & gourmet grocery nearby. Other charming local places are walkable (Old Town & Armitage). 2.5 miles straight down Halstead to Boystown- bus stops right in front of the house! easy walk to the El. 15-20 minutes to downtown. We had a car & never used it! Buy an unlimited Ventra pass & explore the city on mass transit I ran by myself & felt perfectly safe in the neighborhood. tip: it's a 3.5 mile round trip to Lincoln Park :)

Big Hit for Boys Bears Weekend!!!
We had an amazing stay here! We were 14 guys in our mid-50's in town for a long-weekend capped off by a Bears game. Everyone got their own bed, loved being in the space together, and found the location to be ideal, with tons of restaurants, bars, and shopping nearby. Jogging down to the lake and back - about a 3.0 mile loop was a favorite among the group. No regrets - would love to come back and do it all again. Carole was a delight to deal with.

Perfect setting for Chicago fun!
We are a group of friends in town for a wedding. Carole and Basil’s home was the perfect setting for us to gather and have some fun in the city. The home is comfortable, beautifully decorated and well appointed. Communication was proactive and clear and made for an easy weekend.

Home away from Home
This is a wonderful property that was a prefect setting for a friends' get away. It is wonderfully located near downtown in the Lincoln Park area and was close to restaurants and stores. Carole, Basil and Adrian made check in and check out easy and were always just a call away. The space was so inviting we stayed in for dinner on 2 nights and cooked. It was a great trip for us in a memorable setting.

Underrated Place to Stay!
The photos of this property just don’t do it justice - this place is great! Excellent open floor plan and very private. The location was perfect for getting around the city, and walkable to cafes, bars, and restaurants. We stayed here for a bachelor party with 9 guys, and the space was very comfortable. Every guy had his own bed, which was clutch. The host was easy to reach and communication was good, though the pre-check-in process is somewhat tedious (something that seems to be the norm when staying in Chicago). Overall, this stay is an excellent value (the best I found in the city) for its size, condition, and location. Highly recommend!
