Sheridan Beach Apartment
Amy was an excellent host, very responsive to email, and offered flexible check-in times. The location is only a few blocks from the train and an easy ride to Wrigley. Many good restaurants in the area. The unit was very clean and well cared for with modern amenities. Overall, an easy choice to stay here again.

13 mins DT | 4 mins Lake | Majestic Modern Style
Great stay! Easy and accessible. We had everything we needed for our chicago girls trip. Would stay again

Bright 2BR Andersonville – Walk to Lake & Dining
we had a great stay here midweek. Easy to get find, great neighborhood, and accessible to the lakefront in about 15 minutes by walking. We were also very happy with the quick communication with our hosts. We will be back!

Cozy Basement Place - 65% off on monthly stay
Md was a great host! The place is nice and comfortable. Stores are close by. The neighbourhood is peaceful. Great experience!

Cozy & modern w/ parking in Evanston
I had a great stay at Brook’s place! Just note that the unit is the lower level of the house. But overall it matched the description perfectly, and it is super up to date and cozy. Had everything I needed for my stay! It was very clean and organized. Just a 10 min drive to downtown Evanston and 40 mins from Chicago (give or take)! Highly recommend :)

Andersonville Bicycle Studio
I had a wonderful stay at this lovely Airbnb! The decor was so thoughtful and definitely matched the bicycle studio vibes. The space was really cozy and welcoming. I especially appreciated the small details that showed how much care went into setting up the home. The host also left a kind handwritten note, which was such a warm and personal touch. It made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. It was great being back in my old neighborhood for a visit and this space was in the perfect location. Highly recommend staying here!

Quiet city getaway by beach in fun neighborhood
Location is fantastic. Walking distance to beach, red line, buses, great food, shopping, etc. The apartment has a hip vibe and is located in a beautiful neighborhood that we really enjoyed walking through on our way in/out. Free dedicated parking is a huge bonus. Host was very responsive and you can tell they really care about the guest experience. Little things like packages of earplugs by the beds show how thoughtful they are. The neighborhood was pretty quiet most nights but it was nice to have the earplugs available.

Beautiful Hollywood-Ridge Suite in Edgewater
Dorothy was very welcoming and communicative, and the bagels and snacks were an extra nice touch. The rental is as described, if not better, and provided a quiet and comfortable place to stay. The location is well centered between Andersonville and the Bryn Mayr red line station with easy access to all of the locations in Edgewater. There is currently some road construction that blocks off close by roads, however, the streets are open to local traffic and it actually makes walking easier.
House rentals with beach access

Quiet and welcoming house.
We had a great stay at Tsegie’s beautiful home. The house was not only very clean and well-maintained, but also tastefully decorated and comfortable. It’s located in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood with friendly neighbors — perfect for those who have a car, as there’s plenty of free street parking available. Tsegie is a professional and responsive host — very kind and easy to communicate with. We especially appreciated the spacious basement, which was great for indoor activities without disturbing anyone. Our toddler loved the front lawn — it became his favorite play area during the stay. If you're visiting Chicago with a car and prefer a peaceful, suburban atmosphere, this is a wonderful option. I was traveling with a young child and felt very safe and comfortable here. We’d love to stay in this area again on our next trip.

House 5BED/3BATH/1PARKING close to Downtown & Lake
This is great, quiet little neighborhood; it doesn’t feel like you’re in a big city. It was nice to go to a couple Cubs games, hang out in the city, enjoy the amazing food, and then head back to a quiet space. Specifically, Junni was very responsive and friendly. We had a couple little snafus that were all me but Junni was there to help and that’s unusual in my experience. I highly recommend and will do it again!

Historic Old Town, Fabulous 4 Bedroom Home
We absolutely lived this place-enough room for our family and well appointed. Located in a great walkable area and close to the train! We are looking forward to returning!

A Wonderful Getaway Home on the North Shore!
Beautiful home and great location! Only a 5 minute walk to the Metra train, which makes getting into the city easy. But, also, 5-10 minutes to Highland Park and Highwood, which have great restaurants. This home was immaculate and we really enjoyed all the artwork. This was a law school graduation trip for my son, and this home really made the trip perfect

Woodlawn Oasis: 5-15 Mins from Food, Fun, Dining
This was a fantastic find! My whole party loved the place. It was clean and wonderfully located in a peaceful neighborhood close enough to transport to walk but far enough from the noise and bustle of downtown. Shawn was very responsive to any questions I had and was super kind and friendly! I absolutely would stay here again!!

Sleepy sanctuary
We loved our stay at Efren’s place. We are a couple traveling with our 17-year-old son and 90-year-old Grandma, and everyone was happy with our rental. It was clean and well-equipped. Our son was happy to have his own room with a futon (better than sleeping in the living room). The garage parking was a nice touch.

The Spa of Downtown Whiting
Had a great 2 night stay. Everything was clean and exactly as pictures and described. Very cute decor/theme. The layout was great for us, family with older teens. Lots of space and TVs. Great restaurants and some shopping within walking distance. Really good value. Walk to the beach and trails. We were in town for a nearby event and really enjoyed the area this place was in. Host was very responsive and answered questions beforehand. We had no issues with our stay at all and would absolutely recommend.

Sanctuary on the Ravine
The Woodland house is truly incredible, with every detail thoughtfully designed for comfort, from the cozy bedrooms and soft linens to the inviting beds. The kitchen nook with a couch overlooking the ravine offers stunning views of nature, making it a picturesque spot to relax. The home exudes warmth and is perfect for unwinding in the spacious sunken living room or one of the multiple outdoor seating areas. Debra was an excellent host, providing all the amenities you could need. This home is a 10+, and you won't want to leave!
Condo rentals with beach access

Entire condo steps from lake, dining + shopping
We loved everything about this place! David, Ben, Andy and Emily really nailed it—super welcoming, thoughtful and incredibly intentional. We walked in to fresh flowers and homemade cookies, which totally set the tone. The house itself is beautifully curated, filled with vintage pieces that only a true collector could have chosen. It’s a space with real character—charming, stylish, and filled with personality. It’s also impeccably stocked, down to the smallest detail. Kitchen had everything we needed (and then some), beds were comfy with layers for the weird weather, and the lighting made every room feel special. Neighborhood was awesome—great vibes and even better food. Calo’s fried chicken = a must. And don’t skip the scallion pancakes at Jin Ju. In a nutshell, JUST BOOK IT. You’ll thank yourself later. David, Ben, Andy and Emily thank you for sharing such a special place!!!

A Stones Throw from U Chicago South Campus!
Everything was great! The location was perfect—close to most of the attractions we visited during our stay. We really appreciated how well everything was set up. The honey was a lovely touch, and we especially enjoyed the peaceful, quiet atmosphere away from the city. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

RockStar Pad W3A BoysTown/Wrigley Field/Parking
I stay in a lot of Airbnbs. At least 3 a year, most of them in Lakeview. This was the best one! I’m originally from Lakeview and have been disappointed how commercialized and impersonal Airbnb has become. This was the opposite of that. It was so homey, I felt like I’d lived there my whole life. Would definitely stay again.

Charming Apt. Near Beach, Train & Private Parking
The location was a five minute walk to the beautiful Loyola Park along Lakr Michigan. Lots of walkable stores and restaurants. Would stay there again and recommend to others.

Jarvis Gardens - 1BR/BEACH/Wine patio/fire pit
Chip and Lito's place is a dream! Spacious, clean, quiet, and convenient to restaurants, the "L", and the beach. Apartment is very well appointed, yet not cluttered. The shower is awesome! It was very nice to have a full kitchen, with coffee makers and dishwasher. I definitely plan to stay here the next time I visit Chicago!

2BD/2BA MAG MILE MASTERPIECE (+Rooftop)
WWWWOOOWWW!! This host team was EXCEPTIONAL! I’ve stayed in plenty of AirBnBs, and I’ve NEVER encountered a host that was so EXTREMELY accommodating, responsive, and kind! Other hosts should take a page out of their book! The only thing I would change, and it’s not a bad thing (just a matter of preference); I would have some type of blinds or drapes over the living room windows. This will allow for privacy when you’re sitting in the living/dining room areas at night with the lights on inside. Hands down, we would without a doubt book with this team again! Thank you Wendy, Matt, and your co-hosts for helping to make our time in Chicago wonderful!

Pets OK | Walk Score 95 | Desk | 1,750ft² |W/D
Danny's place was great for my sister and I with our daughters. The location is in a very nice area with beautiful homes. We walked to the Lake a couple of times and to the farmer's market. We were centrally located near downtown and where my daughter is in Lakeview and close enough to where our family event was. I definitely would consider staying here again when I come back to visit.

Andersonville: 3-bed, 2-bath w/ Dining RM & EZ PKG
Our multi generational family visited for our son’s graduation from Loyola and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ari’s beautiful home! It was just perfect and we will definitely book again if returning to Andersonville. Ari was great to work with and his place was spotless and in a great location. Everything was walkable and the backyard was so peaceful.
