Great apartment! Easy to find, beautiful inside with comfy beds and AC (it was hot our trip). Apartment is located in a very pretty neighborhood and community. Easy to access downtown and other parts of city. Would happily book again when visiting this area of the city!
This place was great. Clean and well stocked. Reserved parking was a plus. Communication with the host was quick and easy. Place was cute and plenty big. Easy to get in and out of.
Friends who met the first day of college in 1976 chose Chicago for our annual trip and Bella Vista as our accommodations. The apartment looked just like the photos…clean and nicely appointed, in a good neighborhood, close to the city. We enjoyed our visit!
Absolutely amazing!! Don’t miss this wonderful location!
We came for Lalapalooza with our daughters and their friends. The location was nestled in little Italy and absolutely perfect! The owner truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and answered so many questions for me prior and during the visit. The apartment was clean, spacious and well maintained. The kitchen was perfect to make meals before and after the concert for the kids. The WiFi was a strong signal, beds were comfy, and cozy! I can’t say enough great things about John and this apartment. Don’t pass this up! We will definitely be back again for a family trip.
Amazing location. Great base of operations to explore Chicago. Good food in walking distance. Apartment is fully equipped with dishwasher, washer, dryer, two full baths and three bedrooms. The bedrooms are stocked with comfortable robes and the owner provides some snacks and treats which were appreciated by the kids, young and old. Be aware the building is quite old and the walls do not block a lot of noise and the floors are creaky. If you need quiet to sleep look elsewhere. If you want to be in the middle of the action (and hear it) this is your place.
Several great restaurants very close by. Safe location. Little extras (snacks, extra linens, stocked kitchen, toiletries, games, to go menus) were appreciated. There was music at the restaurant next door in the evenings, but that’s to be expected when staying in an area with restaurants.
Lots of room, very well equipped kitchen and rooms including coffee and cookies. The children felt right at home. Very clean. Public transport nearby (10 minutes walk to pink and blue lines). Communication with host John very easy
Super clean place in a interesting neighborhood. Great place. Excellent furnishings. Comfortable beds. We spent a lot of time in downtown Chicago but I wished we had more time to investigate the local neighborhood more.
Very clean, organized, away from downtown so you dont have to deal with heavy traffic. A lot of restaurants on the same street. Parking in back was a little tight with our big SUV we rented, not recommended for multiple cars. Stairs were a little hard to walk up and down with heavy luggage. Pretty quiet area, except the bar next door on weekends but not too loud. Overall very good experience.
The apartment was clean, well-stocked and very comfortable. The location was perfect for close proximity to restaurants, shops, and coffee/tea shops. I would definitely stay here again.
The place is so cute! Looked clean, smelled clean and felt clean! Short drive to downtown easy to get around and plenty of stuff around the place if not going downtown! The rooms were spacious the kitchen was so nice and the living room was the perfect amount of space for 5-6 of us. I would like some shelves or trays in the shower but other than that it was great!
This was one of the best rental experiences I have had. The location was terrific- accessible by blue line straight from O’Hare; many restaurant options within a short walk; multiple pretty parks in the neighborhood. The unit was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Unlike many places I’ve stayed in the past, the apartment was actually tastefully decorated. It was also especially we-equipped with kitchen supplies as well as lovely snacks, excellent coffee selection, laundry soap, and bathroom/shower supplies. It seemed that the host is very mindful of detail, like ensuring easy access to bedside outlets with strategically place extension cords. I will aim to stay here if I ever have the good luck to return to Chicago.
Our family had a very nice stay. Clean and comfortable. There are lots of great places to eat right outside your door. Excellent location for seeing Chicago.
Bella Villa was a perfect property for my family’s trip. Everything was just as described and the location was a great option for us. Travel between the property and our excursions was simple and on-site parking was definitely a plus!
John was a great communicator. Plenty of amenities. Good beds and lots of towels. Love the washer and dryer availability. Great location for buses and pink line. Bring your ear plugs if you need quiet on the weekends. ;)
The accommodations were spotless and well-maintained, with all the essentials provided. It was also thoughtfully stocked with nice extras making it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect for enjoying the holiday festivities in the city, with plenty of restaurants just a short walk away. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the city!
great price with parking in a GREAT neighborhood. We were not bothered by the music from the bar. that may be worse in the summer, but zero issue for us in March.people we were visiting all could not believe what a great deal it is.The candy jar was a very nice touch. zero problems and the owner (John) was excellent to work with.
In town for an event, the amenities and neighbourhood were very nice, the only down side was the noise considering that a we had early morning obligations
