Luxurious Lincoln Park Home with Gourmet Kitchen
Loved our stay here. a gorgeous home with a ton of space and top notch finishes. Nestled between Lincoln Park and Boystown, this place was the perfect home base for our group.

Sheridan Beach Apartment
This property is beautiful and cozy, and it's within walking distance to many attractions. The beach and coffee shops are just a couple of examples. Our host, Amy, provided excellent hospitality; she is very informative, friendly, and checked in periodically to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. I would definitely come back to this place again! 🤍

The Wine Down
Great apartment well decorated and felt at home,super comfortable couch and beds,I would book this spot every time when I’m in Chicago,also accommodated us for the WiFi going down which was superb

3BR Luxury Modern Apartment
My family and I absolutely loved the apartment. It is clean, modern, spacious and comfortable. The gym is just across the hall from the apartment, which was super convenient for us. The lounge area next to the apartment is also a huge plus for getting some work done. You also get a nice view of the city from the unit and from the gym and lounge area. The building is conveniently located on the north end of River North, walking distance to restaurants, public transport & shops. Despite it's somewhat central location, the unit is quiet inside. Lastly, communication with the host was top notch. Check in & check out process were a breeze. I highly recommend this apartment.

Cozy Chicago Apartment next to the River
We thouroughly enjoyed our stay in this cozy home during our visit to Chicago for St Patrick Day weekend! Additionally, it it really close to everything you would want to see downtown. Albert and Monica were great hosts and easy to communicate with and provided some great recommendations. Would defentily recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay during your trip to Chicago!

Cozy 1BR in South Loop | Convenience in the City
Great place to stay! Can get anywhere in the city, its right off the "L". Not far from Michigan Ave, either. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who is traveling to Chicago.

Elegant 2-bed/2-bath in the heart of Uptown
The unit was wonderful and made our last minute trip to catch the Cubs home opener worth it! Couple of blocks from the red line and down the street from the Uptown Deli, which has fabulous sandwiches and desserts. Would recommend this location to anyone!

Lakefront Prospect Heights Home: Ice Fish On-Site
The place was perfect for our needs in Chicago. It’s well kept, up to date, and fits the description.

Sprawling private fenced home with pond view!
Highly recommend this Airbnb. The owner has truly made it a home away from home. She has everything you need in the kitchen, plentiful pillows, extra towels and blankets. The house is very private as it is at the end of a cul de sac in a quaint neighborhood. There is a walking trail and field directly behind the house where you see families and people with their dogs. Though very tranquil, the house is very close to stores and restaurants. It was very clean and rivaled most hotels in that regard. The beds were comfortable and the showers were perfect. Nice that it had two sitting areas and TVs in every room! The most amazing thing about her property is Stephanie herself. She takes great pride and was always readily available. I felt like I had a friend while away from home. She helped with whatever she could.

CasaNova Modern City Living
Lilly was prompt in her responses and very helpful. The place was well kept and clean. A quick Uber ride to downtown. Our group really enjoyed our stay!!

Lakefront Getaway Home! Amazing View! Hot tub! Ski
We had a fantastic weekend at Hugo's place! It was extremely spacious and well-equipped for large groups of people, with many extras in addition to those listed in the description. Hugo was extremely responsive and accommodating. The price is well worth it for groups of 10+ people, and we would happily stay there again.

Spacious house patio/free parking
Accurate photos of the place, everything felt very new. Responsive host.

West Town Hideaway Sleeps 18 + Parking!
Stayed here for family holiday in Chicago! West Town was the perfect location for us, close to transportation, very walkable, lots of coffee shops and places to eat! We used both units for our family and found them both to be exactly as described. The house was in a very quiet neighborhood and came with 2 parking spaces! We loved the indoor access so we could go between both units. The living space in bottom unit was big enough for us all to be together. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The kitchen had lots of dishes but could use a few more pots and pans ( was a little difficult to heat our holiday dinner)- but with so many great places to eat- most people probably eat out anyway! William was a great host, he responded quickly to questions and had a slight problem fixed within 2 hours of us contacting him. We are so glad we had such a great place to spend the holidays! Highly recommend!

MARVELOUS MAG MILE 2BD/2BA (+Rooftop)
Gorgeous, spacious, updated condo in the perfect location. Incredible lake views from the kitchen window. Hosts were very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!

HUGE Modern, 1BD Home Office, Chef's Kitchen Patio
Cannot speak highly enough of this space! It was HUGE! Beautiful and very convenient! The Red line and Green Line train stations are both within easy walking distance. From either we could get to anywhere we wanted to go with transfers. The Hosts were responsive and flexible with an early check in(with a fee) and understanding when we woke up late and checked out 20 minutes late. They had several recommendations for places to eat, see and things to do. Hope to be back!

Where you want to BE! Stylish, Comfy, Luxe
This has to be the best AirBnB we have stayed at. The apartment was like home from home, super clean and exceeded our expectations. The location of the apartment is a short walk from the L, has everything you need within a 5 minute walk and is in a great neighbourhood. John, the host, is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble and he gives some great recommendations of local restaurants/ activities. I would highly recommend this apartment if you are in Chicago - we are sure to be back!

Spacious Wicker Park Hideaway with Parking!
This place is near so many spots it was awesome! to go down and get food right below or just walking across the street and grabbing some food. the place was very well cleaned, had great spots just to sit and chill. beds very comfortable, rooms very spacious. water pressure can be very in and out sometimes but water was warm/hot and lasted a full shower.

River North Hideaway w/Amazing Views and Parking
We loved everything about this place, especially the location. Walkable to everything! The condo was lovely, perfect for our family to stay.

Bronzeville Tribe Palace Loft
Beautiful building and a beautiful space! My family and I really enjoyed our stay. We had more than enough space and everyone was comfortable. Richard was very accommodating we would definitely stay again!

Breathtaking water view condo
Elleni was a great host. Very responsive to our texts. The unit was very nice and clean. Had everything we needed for our overnight stay. I agree with a previous guest to not let the dated outside or elevator stop you from staying here as the unit was very nice!
