Rasheed was very attentive. His home is in an excellent location, walking distance to resturants and shopping. The rooftop provided a spectular view of the city. I would definitely recommend Rasheed's home on a trip to Chicago!

Spacious Two Story Luxurious Home w/Outdoor Deck!
Our party was comprised of 5 adults. We had enough space to spread out and relax between events. The kitchen was very clean and there were snacks and beverages which was very nice. The deck off the kitchen was lovely. There was a welcome binder with lots of information about the neighborhood. The location was well situated; the neighborhood was quiet and very pretty to walk around in. We were able to walk to a restaurant for breakfast each day. My sons walked to Wrigley Field for a Cubs game. The only drawback for me were the stairs which were hard on me as I have a bad ankle. All said, I would highly recommend this listing to others, Robert and Sue were available and were great hosts.

CasaNova Modern City Living
Beautiful home layout and very spacious! Location was a quick drive to the city, which was convenient. Host was also very kind and attentive. Thank you Ms. Lilly for our stay!

Historic Old Town, Fabulous 4 Bedroom Home
We had the best stay in Old Town! The Airbnb was wonderful and spacious for our family.

Superhost Wrigley/Lakeview Duplex 3BR/2.5BA
This house was just as described on the website. It was in a great location. The house is beautiful and clean. Walking distance to Wrigley, many restaurants and also the train. We really enjoyed our stay.

Larimer Park Carriage House
Kirsten was extremely accommodating, flexible and responsive for our trip. We were in town for my son's graduation from Northwestern, so the location was ideal. Particularly having a dedicated parking spot during a very hectic time in Evanston was very helpful. Additionally, while the carriage house is very close to campus, it is quiet and removed enough to feel private and peaceful. The house itself is just what we needed. It is well appointed and equipped with everything we needed. Everything was clean and comfortable. We highly recommend working with Kirsten and staying at the carriage house if you're able.

Woodlawn Oasis: 5-15 Mins from Food, Fun, Dining
This was a fantastic find! My whole party loved the place. It was clean and wonderfully located in a peaceful neighborhood close enough to transport to walk but far enough from the noise and bustle of downtown. Shawn was very responsive to any questions I had and was super kind and friendly! I absolutely would stay here again!!

Executive Contemporary Duplex
My family and I enjoyed staying here. I was born and raised in Chicago just 4 blocks from this Airbnb! It was such a great experience to be back in my old neighborhood. Olusesan is a phenomenal host! I highly recommend this place.

Sheridan Beach Apartment
Amy is an excellent host! She was so proactive about reaching out ahead of time and checking in on us. The unit was extremely clean! Easiest check in I have had with Airbnb—clear/specific directions. Amy was also super accommodating with our checkout time—we had a late flight (7:45pm) and we were able to check out at 5pm instead of noon which allowed us to maximize the last day of our trip! SO close to Loyola beach and has easy access to public transit. There are just a few improvements that would make this a perfect Airbnb: 1) the mattress is uncomfortable (extremely firm), 2) there is a beautiful kitchen but it is not well stocked with the basics (strainer, cooking utensils, pots, etc)—we made do by getting a little creative! Not a problem if you plan on eating out the whole time. 3) A few end tables would be nice for setting a glass of water/coffee etc, 4) needs a few more towels for being so close to the beach! Nonetheless, I would love to stay again and highly recommend!!

Spacious Vintage 3 BR in Chicago's NorthCenter!
Lin’s Place is gorgeous. If you love being surrounded by beautiful vintage, well cared for wood floors, trim and built ins, this I your place. Convenient to Wrigley Field and Lincoln Park, this place is the one. I loved the back deck and garden on a great tree lined street. Thank you Lin and we look forward to our next trip to Chicago.

Lovely studio near the beach! (and heated floors!)
We stayed at Ariel and Gabby's place several times and we always had a great experience! Their place is very welcoming and comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful and peaceful, and the hosts are very nice and helpful. We hope to be back soon.

The Lakefront Lookout (2BR)
We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated how responsive and accommodating Stephanie was! The view is beautiful and the surrounding area was great. Being right above a coffee shop was also extremely convenient.

420 at Cheltenham 4BR
I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Chicago. The host communicated very well and was very welcoming! This place was very clean spacious, and the beds were very comfortable! Thank you for Hosting us!

Clean, comfortable, and beautifully appointed apt. Emily and Roya are helpful and communicative, and all the instructions and photos made things very easy. Would happily stay there again!

minimal lakefront apartment
I've stayed at many Airbnbs, and this is among the best. Kenan describes it as minimal, but it has everything you need. I've rarely stayed somewhere where I didn't at least have to provide my own of something, and I appreciate Kenan for his attention to the basic needs we all have when traveling. I used to live in this neighborhood, and it was great to be right back. If you're a tourist wondering if you should stay so far from downtown, you're better off experiencing real Chicago from a real (and awesome) neighborhood next to a beach and steps from the express bus to downtown.

Stunning Chicago Loft Near Wrigley Field
I absolutely loved Lisa and Nathan’s place. It was exactly as advertised - a beautiful property (photos do not capture how nice this place really is). Aside from the great place and location is how responsive they were. My schedule was in flux while traveling and they were so flexible making sure my stay met my expectations. I also liked how quick they responded when I reached out about the heat (it was very cold in Chicago at the time). They immediately offered to send the building engineer to take a look - and it turns out I just didn’t know how to work the remote for the heat. The heat was fine - it was just user error on my part. But I respected how quickly they followed up with me to make sure everything was fine and that I was comfortable. Will definitely rent again next time I am in town. I can highly recommend their place.
