Vacation rentals with lake access in Chicago Loop

Great location, close to all the action but just far enough to be peaceful. We loved having the back deck to sit outside and relax before a night out. I would absolutely recommend this location for a weekend or even longer.

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!

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.

We had the best stay in Old Town! The Airbnb was wonderful and spacious for our family.

The moment I walked in, it feels like home! The house is very nicely decorated, and it has everything you need to have a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is well stocked and she even has a basketball for my kid to play with in the court right in front of the house. She even welcomes the guests with a nice bar of chocolate , card and fresh flowers! We will stay here again if we visit Evanston!

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!!

Our daughter was graduating from University of Chicago while our other daughter graduated from USAF flight school in Mississippi, and our family and friends visited from locations scattered around multiple time zones. Florin's location was simply the perfect place to handle such incoming chaos while lowering blood pressure to encourage a wonderful graduation experience headache-free. The rooftop experience was stunning, and everybody has been raving about the furnishings and easy-going environment in such a lovely place. The bathrooms and bedrooms were spa-worthy, and there were simply so many careful and thoughtful touches at this location that made it hard to leave! Florin has multiple parking options, but we only needed one nearby, offstreet parking place that was never a problem---surprising for a big city like Chicago! In short, this was probably the finest AirBnB we ever visited, and we are so grateful for such an exclamation point on a magical weekend. Thank you, Florin!

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.

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!!

Thank you for a comfortable and pleasant stay. Place felt like home. Quiet and quiet neighborhood had all the necessities. Easy access to local stores nearby, convenient location less than 10 minutes from downtown and host was a great person very responsive. I would highly recommend.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable and it was great that they had amenities for a baby as we stayed here with our daughter and baby grandson. This apartment is in a great location in Lincoln Park. Buena North Deli is a short walk away as well as other markets. Cedar Palace Lebanese restaurant is just across the street (great food and great service) with other nice restaurants just a short walk away. Armitage station was walkable and we used the train everyday to get around in Chicago. Michael, the host, provided great instructions and recommendations for the area. He was very responsive made sure we had what we needed. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Chicago.

Excellent place to stay. Quite a fe steps for those with issues getting up and down steps, but worth it.

We loved this cute, Craftman-style apartment. It was so homey and well arranged, nicely furnished, and beautifully decorated that we seriously wanted to move in! The owners were very thoughtful about providing what visitors will need. (They even provided a spare umbrella!) Everything was exactly as described, and communication was friendly and prompt. The only issue we had was trying to find on-street parking. We had to park several blocks away and, sadly, our car was stolen from that parking spot. Otherwise, it was a lovely neighborhood and a convenient location. Despite the parking problems, I would stay there again.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Liz’s. The apartment is beautiful with lots of space. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels were very nice quality. The apartment is in a great neighborhood with a lot of good coffee and food in walking distance.

Nice cozy play to stay, outside of the busy Chicago streets! Has good restaurants around that are walkable to.

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.
