thoughtfully appointed

This neighborhood is wonderful, and to have a parking spot there is so helpful. But what's most impressive is the amount of detail put into the apartment itself: it has everything a couple could need. Very nice hosts, also.

Fantastic Location and Comfortable, Clean Space

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment! The location was perfect—just a short walk to great restaurants and Lincoln Park Zoo, which made exploring the city so convenient. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen had all the essentials, and the overall setup made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-situated spot in the city.

Great Location in Lincoln Park

My wife, dog, and I enjoyed our stay here for 6 nights. The location cannot be beat just minutes away walking to the Lincoln Park Zoo and several good restaurants in the neighborhood. It’s a quaint clean basement with almost everything you need available to you. My only recommendation is bring a portable fan or two with you because you cannot control the temperature of the room and it got fairly warm during our stay. Our portable fan was a lifesaver in this instance.

Very nice and central to everything that mattered to us. There are stairs to contend with but we are in our mid 70's and had no problems navigating them. Jon was a wonderful host and we will be back.

Perfect Spot in Lincoln Park

My mother and I came to visit my daughter in Lincoln Park. It was a perfect location for us as she was only a block away. I was able to park my car and walk to the zoo, the lake, shopping, and eateries. We enjoyed the cute patio with morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail before meeting the kids for dinner. It was a great stay.

Best location for a stay with easy access to everything

A great apartment with all you need for a successful stay. The location is unsurpassed: right around the corner from several bus lines, you are 20 minutes away from the most important attraction. Lincoln Park is your own backyard, so to speak. Lots of top restaurants, shops, bakeries etc.

Purrfect location

This clean, charming, and well-appointed basement apartment below the host's home was conveniently located to all our needs in Lincoln Park and events during our long weekend stay. The location in Lincoln Park was the best part of this stay. If you like cats, this might be a great option for you, as the host's hissing cat may pay you an extended visit under the bed, as was our experience. We arrived during a spring heat wave to discover that the air conditioning was not operable. The friendly hosts advised that they were on the repair waitlist after we complained about the temperature in the basement, and they quickly provided us with a fan. We understand that things break at the last-minute, and we were fortunately flexible enough with our plans to spend as much time elsewhere as we possibly could so that we still had a enjoyable weekend trip to Chicago. We've used VRBO's main competitor many times before to book our frequent Chicago stays without any issues, but given this was our first time using VRBO, we will not be using VRBO ever again based upon our experience.
