The Playwright's Palace
Loved our stay. Right in the middle of everything we wanted to do in Chicago. If we couldn't walk to it, public transportation was readily available. Stephanie was always friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Lux Urban 3BR/3BA Duplex + Parking!
Great stay! Thanks for making it so easy. Big space for lots of family to be together and have space.

Great place to stay! Fausto was very responsive and left treats/drink in the fridge for us. He was a wonderful host and would go back!

Bright and Beautiful Penthouse - Close to the lake
We had a great stay at Delphine's place in Uptown. The location is excellent, being on a tree-lined street, but very close to the Red Line, the Broadway bus, Andersonville, Little Asia, grocery stores and more. As we had a little kid, being right on top of the little park downstairs was also very convenient. On the flipside, it can get noisy in the summer with lots of kids/playgroups coming there, but as parents, we didn't mind. Delphine herself was very quick to respond via Whatsapp to all our queries before and during our stay. One thing to keep in mind at her place is that you are very much living in their home. If you are looking for an apartment that is only intended for guests, this is not it. While it is plenty big as a 2BR/2BA, it is full of stuff, furniture, photos, books, toys, etc. They have made a very nice office space in the main living area, but the drawback is that the living area is now very cramped. The main bedroom has 2 queen size beds in it, which is a bit weird, so we just ended up using one bed to keep our clothes on. The other bedroom with bunk beds is excellent for kids and more spacious. So overall, a great place and a great stay, and especially good if you are a couple with 1 or 2 kids. Just a bit cramped and crowded with stuff. We stayed for 2 weeks.

Secluded, Fenced Cottage, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Dog Friendly, Nat’l Park
This was a lovely cottage and a great getaway from a busy Chicago life. We only spent a couple nights but we brought my dog and we just wanted to chill for a bit. Soaking in the hot tub was a must! The backyard was completely fenced in so my dog could roam and investigate while we enjoyed the hot tub under strings of yard lights, creating a peaceful vibe. Loved it! We cooked a lot (inside) since the weather was cool and windy and the well-stocked kitchen was much appreciated. Great coffee machine (bring your own coffee!) and dishwasher. They came in very handy. Comfortable beds, clean linens, adjustable thermostat with easy instructions, extra blankets and pillows... all you'll need to feel at home. Thank you for a great time and we can't wait to come back. Next time we're bringing our friends!

The Professional's Playground
This apartment had everything that I needed during my work-and-play trip to Chicago. Easy access to public transportation, pleasant walks to the river and the west loop, and the gym and pool were awesome. Stephanie was extremely quick to respond and friendly from start to finish. I would be very comfortable staying here again next time I’m in Chicago.

Urban Luxury 1BR/2BA Logan Square Condo w/Garage
We had a great stay in Logan Square. The location has walkable access to the Blue Line making downtown easy. While this is a lower level unit, this does not feel at all like your standard “garden level”. It was full of windows and bright. Furniture was very comfortable. Bathrooms well appointed with amazing shower pressure. The bedroom is so quiet you get a great nights sleep. Bonus points for lamps on BOTH sides of the bed. The closet had high quality hangers plus good storage. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking or for storing leftovers from fabulous restaurants in area. The garage is a great bonus. Our young adult children live in the area and it was prefect for them to come over, hang out and visit with us. We spent time outside in the garden area with the fire table. Bryan was very responsive and helpful through our four-night stay. We will be back!

Roscoe Village One Bed Lux Apartment Near Wrigley
I would highly recommend Dennis' place. It was super clean. Had all the amenities you may want. Close to a lot of places yet quiet. We felt totally safe and loved the balcony.

Sunny Logan Square Artists' home
We loved our stay at Kyle’s place - it was decorated SO cute (I went with two girlfriends and I’m pretty sure we all squealed with joy when we first opened the door). The location was perfect - just a quick walk to all the shops and restaurants Logan Square had to offer - and to public transportation (which we used the whole time in Chicago). The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet; we all felt very safe. When I come back to Chicago, I will absolutely be staying here again. Thanks for sharing your space with us, Kyle! We loved it! (Side note: you gave me so many ideas for house decor, your style is impeccable!)

Private 3rd Floor Apartment
Very comfy apartment in a great neighborhood. We were in town for a baseball game and it’s a terrific place for that, just about a 20-minute walk to Wrigley Field. The only thing to be concerned about is the stairs: there are two flights to get into the apartment and they’re fairly steep and small, so if you have mobility issues that would be a concern. I don’t and had no problem. Karen is a lovely host and was very helpful when I was getting into the place and unloading my stuff from my car. There are tons of restaurants and coffee shops in the area, so it’s a great place to explore and hang out.

Stylish Studio in Historic Logan Square
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 We had a wonderful stay! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was super responsive and made check-in seamless. We especially appreciated the little touches and great local recommendations. The neighborhood felt safe and was close to everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

2nd floor of 1908 brick two-flat in Logan Square
Our family loved our weeklong stay. Perfectly located with beautiful wood details and stocked with games for the kids, it was charming and convenient. Paul and Sarah were very helpful and we had everything we needed. We would all be happy to stay here again.

Garden Unit Getaway-Bucktown
Keith's place was exactly what we were looking for! We could walk from the Blue Line (which we took to/from O'Hare and to/from the Loop), and within a mile or so there were a ton of fun shops and dining options. We were there in the midst of a heat wave, and the basement apartment + AC unit keep us cool and comfortable the entire time.

Spacious Evanston Unit - Walk to Northwestern U
Great place! Felt homey and comfortable. Though I stayed on my own, my family would have enjoyed the games and nook areas to hang out. This is a basement apartment that feels like a cabin or summer get away. Note that the kitchen is not a full kitchen (this is described on the listing) but is equipped very well for a kitchenette.

Miller Mermaid Suite-100 yds from the beach!
This was the perfect place to stay after a day at the National Park beach -- and then, thanks to it's proximity to a beach of its own, a great place to catch a sunset! The suite was super comfortable and packed with amenities. Jennifer provided answers to any possible questions we could've had ahead of time with a detailed list, and then was incredibly responsive to messages. Our dogs had a great time as well. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat, and next time for longer!

Trailer- Rental Unit
Absolutely loved staying at Sylvia's! The camper is very conveniently located within the park - close to all the amenities and activities! Easy to access, beautiful grounds and a very peaceful stay for my family and I.

Beautiful 137 Year Old Farm Home (3night min)
Beautiful and eclectic home. It was perfect for our group of girls visiting from all over the U.S to attend our HS Reunion. Plenty of lovely spaces to gather or a private, quiet nook to read or rest. The pool was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was large enough and well stocked to prepare meals. Andy was very responsive with any issues or questions. Highly recommend!

Stylish Corner 2 Bedroom in the Heart of Chicago |
The location is perfect for getting to any part of Chicago. It's within walking distance of endless activities, and within one to two blocks of multiple "L" and subway lines that will take you anywhere. You are staying in the middle of the city, so you will hear the train and sirens throughout the night; however, the host provides disposable ear plugs which were very helpful. I had no problem sleeping throughout the night. Front desk staff is always friendly. The host is very responsive, and courteous. Washer and dryer in unit helped me with not having to pack as many cloths for my trip. Everything was spotless upon arrival. Would absolutely stay here again.

Music Hot Spot’s Main Level
Rosie was the perfect host. Before our arrival. Lots of recommendations to do and see off at the use of her bikes across to use at no charge. On arrival offered to pick us up at the airport but we were delayed. During our stay of six days, Rosie and her husband were always on hand to help with recommendations what to do and see About a 30 minute cab drive from the airport and 30 minutes downtown or 10 minute walk to the train and 30 to 40 minute ride which is no stress It was clean and comfortable the kitchen had everything you needed

Beat-Town Flex Stays
Second stay. Rose accomplishes blending comfortable clean accommodations with a relaxed and folksy vibe. Recommended!

Rustic Cabin
Just what I wanted, a nice basic cabin to camp with my dogs. Lots of family activities and a great little dog park and paths to walk the dogs without disturbing other campers. Good bathrooms and showers. Firewood delivered to your camp site. I’ll be back whenever I need a little getaway 🙂.

Luxury Corner 2 Bedroom in the Loop | Roof Deck
Great location and nice floor plan. A bit noisy because of the elevated train, however, earplugs were provided and I enjoyed watching the trains. I would definitely stay there again.
