Enjoy the comforts of the large king size bedroom, living room and dining room, as well as a fully stocked kitchen, plus patio & rooftop deck during warmer months. Right next to the Blue line L which runs underground and a quick trip to Downtown and hip Wicker Park/Logan dining, shopping & nightlife. Straight shot from airport. This is a self check-in property and for security purposes, your key pad code will be sent to you the day of arrival in order to ensure there is no early or unauthorized entry. The unit is located within walking distance to some great downtown restaurants or a short ride to Wicker Park and Loop dining, nightlife and attractions (approx. 10 min.) Relax in the unit after a busy day of sightseeing or shopping. Feel free to make full use of the kitchen. This is a pet and kid friendly home, but please be sure to let me know in advance. There's an amazing cafe named Windy City Cafe very close if you want coffee or other breakfast items - an excellent brunch spot. You'll have exclusive and private use to the living room, kitchen, bathrooms and bedroom. The deck is shared with all units in the building. I'll have towels, soap, shampoo & conditioner, and a hairdryer in each bathroom. There's also a CVS around the corner in case you need to get anything that you may have forgotten. I have high-speed Wifi as well as Netflix, HBO Max, Paramount+ and other apps via the smart TV (no cable) if you want to spend some time indoors. Free laundry facilities are also available in the basement in case you need. Please note that this is my personal apartment and has my belongings in them so please do not help yourself to any of them and respect my privacy. If you do not feel comfortable staying in a unit with someone else's belongings, you may want to seek an alternate place. I always ensure the place is fully picked up, cleaned and sanitized prior to guest arrival. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video game console - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: $300 if evidence of indoor smoking found ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Water park - Basketball nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Ice skating nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120090000/120085200/120085178/cfade0fe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2- Bdrm Apt Desert Themed w/AC in Chicago Washington Heights - Air conditioning - Parking available - Microwave 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=120085178&PinnedHotelID=120085178&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112400000/112391300/112391292/070c7a21.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### LUXE Vintage Loft, 10min to Downtown, Retro Movie Theatre - 15% Discount Applied New City - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 8.8 Excellent 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=112391292&PinnedHotelID=112391292&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110770000/110760200/110760116/0de43d33.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW, clean & sunny, 2bd, private deck, 15min to Wrigley!

The location is phenomenal and the apartment as a whole is very nice. I really liked the TV in the bedroom since it was great to watch movies on it. However, this stay earns only 3 stars for the following reasons. First, when I arrived, Kam did not provide any directions on how to get into my apartment or where the apartment would be located within his building, even though I messaged him on VRBO a couple of times before I arrived for check in instructions. I got lucky that my friends, who were renting the unit above the one I rented, were at home so they let me in and gave me Kam’s personal number. However, once I texted Kam, he did respond promptly to it (although that was 1-2 hours late iirc). Second, the biggest disappointment to me with this apartment was that there were TOO many personal belongings in it. It felt like someone just stayed in it right before I came and it was not emptied out to my satisfaction. Here are a couple of examples: 1. The fridge and freezer were packed TO THE BRIM. There were so many items, including perishables like eggs (which remained there for 1.5 weeks as I stayed there) that were simply left behind. I didn’t even have 1 shelf to myself. This made it impossible for me to store stuff inside, which meant I was unable to stock up on groceries to actually cook at home. 2. In the bedroom, there were personal clothes scattered underneath the bed and a closet that seemed like someone just stuffed clothes within it (where it was overflowing and the closet remained open during my stay). This made it feel like I was literally living in someone’s bedroom for a week and a half, which is a very weird and unusual experience to have in a VRBO where you expect to have little to no personal items at all in the residence. This also felt rather unsafe during a pandemic, when you want to be extra cautious about being exposed to someone’s personal items. 3. The bathroom had many personal items, including a toothbrush (presumably owned by Kam) that was left behind on the bathroom sink. If it weren’t for the fact that I think Kam seems like a nice person who might be new to hosting this residence to prospective VRBOers, I may have considered giving less than 3 stars. However, all in all I did enjoy my stay here, although I don’t think I will be coming back to this particular VRBO in the future. ##### nlFlkKQG1pqp9KasAAAAcDBuBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagYTBfAgEAMFoGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQMGxVypzvdn9AM X. Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra R., Mahtomedi 23 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well maintained clean and comfortable open concept apartment I was impressed by the owner's clear communication style and clean and well prepared property. I loved my alone time on the little balcony in front and family time on the larger patio in back. I enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen. The king bed was so comfortable and fit our family of three perfectly for Netflix and chill times. Overall this was better than I expected and I would definitely stay here again. ##### Sandra R.
