About this property
Light-filled 1bdrm garden apartment on golf course near Northwestern U.
Whether you are in town for a Northwestern Football game or graduation or want to be closer to all that Evanston and Lake Michigan have to offer, this is the place for you.
One-bedroom garden apartment with kitchenette and capacity for additional guests on queen blow-up mattress in the living room. Amazing location - within a few blocks from the El and Metra trains which can take you into Chicago or downtown Evanston. The Northwestern Stadium and campus, restaurants, coffee houses, and parks are all within walking distance. The house backs onto a public golf course with a peaceful wooded walking path by the canal which you can take to the Bahai temple in Wilmette. There is free onsite parking behind the house. An outside grill and firepit are available in a lush, professionally landscaped backyard. Feel free to reach out during your stay - we're happy to suggest local spots to check out.

About the host
Hosted by Sara Polonsky
I am a transplanted New Yorker, who despite my best efforts has fallen in love with Lake Michigan. I love food - cooking, feeding others and eating, and as a result, I spend a lot of time exercising to make up for it. I am part of a group that swims in Lake Michigan year-round and a member of (and baker for) the Evanston Bike Club. I can direct you to the best things to do in Evanston, and if you dare, I can introduce you to open-water swimming.
Why they chose this property
I have lived in Evanston for over 30 years. It is a great combination of college-town, near to Chicago, socially conscious, and full of beauty with the lake and nearby walks through nature. I just a couple of blocks to both the El and the Metra so have easy access to downtown Chicago. I am walking distance to coffee shops, a small grocery store, restaurants, the Northwestern campus and stadium and Lake Michigan. I love that Evanston is a progressive suburb that endeavors to make everyone feel welcome.
What makes this property unique
My house is in a great neighborhood, close to everything. I am an avid gardener and the backyard is a great place to hang out, sit around a fire or pick fresh vegetables or herbs to eat.
