Message me if you have questions!

"The Compound" is two adjoining spacious townhomes on the same property. You will be renting both. Please turn to the photos to get enchanted by this stunning space but also to see the floor plan with layout and sleeping arrangements.

**EXTRAS**
• late check out and early check in- please contact for pricing and availability
• worry free cleaning package- $200 Please read details below
IMPORTANT: I am unable to charge your account for the additional services. Please contact me in advance to arrange payment through Airbnb.

**SMALL PRINT**
✦ The brown line train is nearby and you can hear it in some parts of the house
✦ The two townhouses are not connected inside. You will need to go outside though a private walk way to move between the properties

**ACCESSIBILITY**
There is a first floor bedroom with no steps.

**WORRY FREE CLEANING PACKAGE**
At check out you will need to take care of trash overflow, dishes, exuberant messes and any food you brought. The worry free package covers any and all cleaning. Just walk out in the morning (you do need to move furniture back if you make any changes to layout). Note that this fee is additional to my regular cleaning fee you pay when you book the place. This package is best for those who want to decorate, cook a lot, are traveling as a group and would rather split the $200 than worry about anything in the morning.

**DECORATING THE HOUSE**
You are welcome to decorate the house. If you attach anything to the walls, please use paint-safe tape and remove it prior your departure. There is a $200 glitter and confetti fee.

**HOUSE RULES**
The presence of more than 28 guests is unlawful. A guest is anyone at the property, staying the night, or just visiting. Minors need to have a responsible adult present. Unredacted ID will need to be provided for primary booker prior to your arrival for advance reservations and for everyone spending any time at the property for reservations made less than 30 days in advance. There is a counter installed. I utilize a private security firm. If the counter shows more than the registered number of people or if I get a noise complaint from neighbors, security will be immediately dispatched.

**GRILL**
Currently there is a large gas and a medium electric grills at the property. I do not provide any supplies including gas. Frequently previous guests leave plenty for the next set to you and there is a gas refill station less than five minutes away. Local grocery store is less than two minutes away.

**WILDLIFE**
You will encounter wildlife while staying at the property. Here is what you can expect most commonly:
Spiders and ants are common in Chicago. They get as high as 95th floor of John Hancock building. While we do our best to combat them, it is nearly impossible during high season.
Bees, wasps, yellow jackets are abundant throughout the city. While we take care of any nests on the property, I cannot control them in the air and beyond my boundaries.

**PETS**
I welcome pets however the following breeds of dogs are not allowed due to insurance limitations: Akita, American Staffordshire, Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Pit Bull, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Wolf hybrid, or any dog that is a mix that includes one or more of the breeds listed above.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The house is in east Old Town- best neighborhood in Chicago for both families or if you are looking to have fun. While the street itself is very quiet, tree lined and barely has cars passing by, as soon as you turn the corner, you are in the center of everything! Wells street restaurants and bars are steps away. Lincoln Park with the zoo, farm, pond, open spaces and farmers market is a 7-10 min. walk. North avenue beach is the same distance. It is perfect for walks, picnics, boat rides or good old fun in the sand. The beaches are free to the public and have breathtaking city views. Grocery shopping is made easy, seeing as Plum Market and Jewel are located right in the neighborhood. Nearby coffee shops include a 24 hour Starbucks and La Fournette. There are 103 restaurants within a 15 minute walk including some of Chicago's top restaurants including Kamehachi, Topo Gigio, The Fireplace Inn, and Woodies Flat. Bars and lounges are abundant on Wells and are all 1-2 minute walk. Shopping in Old Town is a unique experience; the majority of shops in this neighborhood are boutiques rather than well-known chain stores. Therefore, each and every store is cozy, intimate and filled with one-of-a-kind goods. The Lincoln Park Zoo is a world of wildlife in the shadow of skyscrapers. The Second City only two blocks away and it is a famous theater that specializes in sketch comedy and improv, and has been delighting audiences for over 50 years. Oak street and beginning of Michigan avenue is about 15-20 minute walk.

GETTING AROUND:
The house is a five-minute walk from the Brown Line and the Purple Line at the Sedgwick stop and an eight-minute walk from Red line at Clark. It takes be about 15 min to walk to Michigan Ave and Wells Street bars are a minute away. Buses and cabs are also easily accessible. It is about a 3-minute drive to get onto Lake Shore drive at LaSalle and about 8 minutes to Kennedy expressway at North Avenue

The house is best for bachelor, bachelorette and friend groups as well as business travelers. It is not child proof.

Old Town Chicago

We loved this neighborhood and the condo was perfectly situated for us to. take the train or bus wherever we wanted. Great restaurants in the area and very safe walking. We walked to the Mag Mile & the beach. The condo has LOTS of room. It was plenty big enough to hold our family group of 15

Great for Big Group

Celebrated a Bachelorette with prior approval from host. It was a great space and worked perfectly for our group. I only wish that front and back units were connected (from the inside), but it still worked out either ways. Enjoyed the leg workout climbing up and down the stairs. Garage parking was a plus. Overall, very pleased with everything.

Excellent property for a large group.

We had a group of 30 stay across the two houses. They were very clean, adequately equipped and incredibly spacious for our group. Would definitely recommend Inna's property for any group large or small.

Great property & city location - can walk to Mag Mile

Inna’s beautiful home was ideal for our group of 10, and we could have easily housed more comfortably. Great location just three blocks off Wells St and totally walkable to Gold Coast and Mag Mile. Cold temps didn’t deter us, house was toasty and quiet. No concerns at all about the nearby train. Front of the house sleeps a lot and the lower level was perfect for our hang out spot. Back of house has a nice kitchen and great patio that would be ideal in the summer. Also sleeps many, not as updated as the front but a quiet spot with easy access through the exterior doors. Available on-site garage parking for 2 cars helped so much and Inna was very responsive and accommodating throughout the process before and during our stay. Highly recommend.

Recent Stay

Everything was perfect for our recent trip in for the Bears game. We had guys from all over the country and the house made it easy for us to congregate and catch up! The location is a short walk to the train and can access anywhere in the city from there. The ease of the check in/check out process could not have been simpler. We will definitely be renting this house again on future trips!

Wonderful Stay

Host was extremely flexible, allowing us to add a night on the front of our trip even though it meant losing a potential stay just prior, which was unbelievably kind. House was comfortable, large, and exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended.

Family trip 2019

We had 7 families with a total of 20 people. The front house was really airy and updated. The back house could have used a larger tv. Patio was wonderful. We did have construction going on next door that literally shook the houses but thankfully after 2 days settled down. Loved the location for the El and Subway as well as shopping. Inna was really receptive to all our needs. Parking is really the issue in Chicago. Glad we visited but happy to be home.

Perfect for our group!

Inna's house was spacious and provided the space/atmosphere we needed for our big group! It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed! It was in an ideal location as well. Safe neighborhood and very close to the center of the city! Everyone in the group enjoyed the stay! Will look forward to renting it again if everything works out. :) Thank you, Inna!

About the host

Host profile image
I live around the corner from this house so not only I am nearby if you need help but also think it is the best area in the city.

Why they chose this property

I love Old Town. This is where my family and I have lived for the last 15 years. I love that you can walk anywhere- downtown to the shops and restaurants, to the beach, park and the zoo or even take a walk around the streets with unique houses. My favorite activity in the summer is people watching sitting outside at one of the Wells street cafes
