Cozy 1bdr Rogers Park, Loyola, Northwestern.

EllenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a great find! I'm talking about the room AND the host! The beds were very comfortable and the amenities were all we needed. The artwork was wonderful and the design of the rooms (lamps, table, chairs etc) were great. I especially loved the small room heater, it looked like a mini fireplace, I want one for my room at home! Kaye has thought out what a guest needs with all kinds of extras (covers for the chairs for pets), extra blankets, packet full of local information, and clear instructions. She was responsive when I had questions or needs. I was glad to meet her as well, easy to talk with and a very interesting person who knows Chicago extremely well. If I make it back this way, I would definitely stay here again.

Unique Lincoln Park Duplex Apt

JoshRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our stay here was amazing. The unit was clean, had all the amenities listed, was in walking distance of shops, restaurants, and Lincoln Park, not to mention public transportation options. The neighborhood is absolutely gorgeous, especially in the Spring. I found myself just wanting to explore the area on a whim. Bozena was very responsive to any questions we had and even let us drop our luggage by before check-in so we didn’t have to lug all of that around. It was a fantastic experience, all around!
