Fantastic Location and Comfortable, Clean Space
We had a fantastic stay at this apartment! The location was perfect—just a short walk to great restaurants and Lincoln Park Zoo, which made exploring the city so convenient. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen had all the essentials, and the overall setup made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-situated spot in the city.

Perfect Spot in Lincoln Park
My mother and I came to visit my daughter in Lincoln Park. It was a perfect location for us as she was only a block away. I was able to park my car and walk to the zoo, the lake, shopping, and eateries. We enjoyed the cute patio with morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail before meeting the kids for dinner. It was a great stay.

Best Location and Comfortable Home
We loved the proximity to Divvy Bikes, CTA buses and the Lincoln Park Zoo and Farmers Market. This was a garden apartment that had everything we needed including a renovated bathroom with walk in sower, private back patio, washer/dryer and kitchen. The owner was very kind and helpful.

great Vacation Spot
A very clean and updated unit. The location is excellent for walking all over the north part of Chicago. Even Wrigley Field is only about a half hour walk. The other areas are a reasonable UBER ride away.

Very nice and central to everything that mattered to us. There are stairs to contend with but we are in our mid 70's and had no problems navigating them. Jon was a wonderful host and we will be back.

Great Location in Lincoln Park
My wife, dog, and I enjoyed our stay here for 6 nights. The location cannot be beat just minutes away walking to the Lincoln Park Zoo and several good restaurants in the neighborhood. It’s a quaint clean basement with almost everything you need available to you. My only recommendation is bring a portable fan or two with you because you cannot control the temperature of the room and it got fairly warm during our stay. Our portable fan was a lifesaver in this instance.

Apartment is nice. Location great. Owners friendly. However I Was surprised the final day when we were told that we owed $40 for parking two nights. It wasn’t stated in the listing that there was a separate charge for using the parking spot

Sweet, cozy and well-appointed
Great location with access to everything we needed. Luscious and delightful towels which is uncommon in most VBROs. We brought our dogs who were warmly greeted by the owners who gave us an exhaustive overview of the space. So glad we had covered parking for $20 per night since we came right after snowmagedon in Chicago. And the little aromatherapy touch was a welcome and needed addition to finish out our day after dinner time.

Location and hospitality!
Wonderful property in ideal location for Chicago fun! Walkable to all of Lincoln Park, the lake, many restaurants, public transportation etc. Bike rental across the street was a highlight. Hosts were kind, accommodating, helpful, and had great communication throughout. Best VRBO hosts we've ever experienced. Parking spot option was a huge plus for us. Property was very clean and had everything we needed and more - very thoughtfully done. Only regret is that we didn't get to enjoy the patio becuase of a heat wave. Hope to be back again!

A great apartment with all you need for a successful stay. The location is unsurpassed: right around the corner from several bus lines, you are 20 minutes away from the most important attraction. Lincoln Park is your own backyard, so to speak. Lots of top restaurants, shops, bakeries etc.
