Cozy!

We stayed for three nights and it had all we needed. Comfy beds, tons of bath towels and a great iron! We slept very well even through the fun fireworks on 4th of July. The space felt very cozy, and dare I say, quiet! It was clean and superseded all of our expectations. The neighborhood was also nice, walking distance to many restaurants and bars.

Great place to stay!

We loved our stay here! The apartment was cozy and comfortable, easy street parking (we never had trouble finding a spot), and only ~5 min walk to a pink line station.

About the host

Host profile image
Born and raised in Denver, Colorado. Visited Chicago 2005 and literally fell in love. That is the year I met my amazing wife. She is born and raised in the amazing neighborhood Pilsen this is where we have chose to plant our flag as a family. Pilsen is filled with so much culture from arts, music and amazing food. In the summer you can definitely catch us at the many music and food fest that Pilsen and surrounding neighborhoods have. You can catch us at the park playing with our daughter eating an “Elote” (Corn on stick) or “Paleta” (Mexican Popsicle) just enjoying the Chicago weather.

We became homeowners in 2018 and we now are excited to share what we have built with our guests. When investing In Pilsen the buildings are old need allot of work, but have amazing character. We have spent the last year making our property perfect while preserving the character. We love to travel so we understand how important room accommodations are. So we hope to make you as comfortable as possible on your visit to Pilsen and Chicago. We love help so if there is anything you need please don’t hesitate to ask. We look forward to having you as a guest in Pilsen and beautiful city of Chicago.

Why they chose this property

Pilsen is our home. This is where we have planted our flag. When searching for homes we wanted character and we found it in this property and now we share it with you! This our home so when you are a guest we want you to feel like home away from home. We love our home and know you will too.

What makes this property unique

It is all brand new! It was built with you in mind. We put what we wanted in this apartment. So much went into making this place perfect for you.
