Great stay! Host was responsive and directions to get into the property were simple. The kitchen and living room were perfect. Snacks and candy were a great touch. Master bedroom bed needs a little improvement - it really sucked ya in. Besides that loved the stay and honestly would stay again!

This was the best little house that we have ever stayed in. We just love the character in this home. It was a nice distance from downtown but not too far out Ubers only cost us between 13 and 18. To Go we was very well pleased and we will be coming back.

Dreamy home-away-from-home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Mr. Walsh was responsive, his offering was exactly like the listing - even better, actually! We were spoiled with all the amenities and small details that truly transformed this family trip into a joyously memorable experience. Thank you to John and his crew, we loved everything about staying here! Close to all of the great food spots in Little Italy, transit is easy to navigate to and from, and every room was beautifully adorned and maintained.

Amazing family friendly location near city.

This was the perfect property to stay in for a family visit to the city. Lots of room to relax in a great neighborhood that was less than 15 minutes drive from all the major Chicago attractions. Host was wonderful to work with and really did have everything you could possibly need. Will definitely recommend to all our friends and family and stay here again next time we are in town.

We stayed here for a concert at City Winery. Was located in a great area. We walked to dinner and dancing the first night. Next day walked to the blue line and went downtown for some sightseeing. Everything we needed was within a walk… great place!!!

Perfect place

We really enjoyed this home away from home. We had a girls trip to Chicago and this location was perfect. We enjoyed our morning coffee together before going into town. It was cozy and relaxing which is exactly what we needed. The amenities were perfect. It was very clean. And the little extras like snacks and chocolates made it even better.

Stylish, comfortable, lots of amenities

My friends and I thought John’s place was the perfect spot for our Chicago visit. John provided lots of amenities from coffee and supplies to toiletries, mirrors in every room, robes, games, and more. Two of the bedrooms were like little cocoons that made for a cozy sleep. The other was larger but equally comfortable. Everything was clean and John checked up on us throughout. The unit was a short ride to all the best stuff, too.

Fabulous!

Everything was wonderful, one of the most charming places we’ve ever stayed in. Check in was easy, free parking space a definite plus, convenient to the train. Little Italy has many wonderful restaurants, try Stax and Eggsperience for breakfast/lunch and Rosebud for dinner. John was very responsive when we had an operator error using the coffee maker (yes, it works just fine….when the switch is on, lol; however, this was before coffee). Highly recommend staying at John’s lovely townhome.

10 stars!

Just a fabulous property! Ditto all of the positive comments in previous reviews! Great quiet safe neighborhood, great food options, so close to the Pink line Polk station and several bus lines that quickly took us right where we wanted to go. ( The $5 per day pass for the CTA was the best bargain of our stay.). Clean, spacious, bright, comfortable, attractive decor, thoughtful attention to details, kitchen and bathrooms well supplied with all needed items and little extras. Perfect choice for a Chicago stay!

Great property, great Chicago neighborhood.

We loved The Villa in Chicago’s Little Italy. The brownstone unit has been nicely modernized , and had everything we wanted from beds to linens to dishes. And well located in nice walkable Little Italy neighborhood , sandwiched between U of Illinois and the Rush /UIC Medical campus. Close to several upscale restaurants, and numerous casual spots. L station two blocks away , but you can also drive to downtown in 10 minutes. Also just 25 minutes to Midway Airport. Host John was friendly and responsive. We’ll be back!!
