thoughtfully appointed

This neighborhood is wonderful, and to have a parking spot there is so helpful. But what's most impressive is the amount of detail put into the apartment itself: it has everything a couple could need. Very nice hosts, also.

Fantastic Location and Comfortable, Clean Space

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment! The location was perfect—just a short walk to great restaurants and Lincoln Park Zoo, which made exploring the city so convenient. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen had all the essentials, and the overall setup made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-situated spot in the city.

Great Location in Lincoln Park

My wife, dog, and I enjoyed our stay here for 6 nights. The location cannot be beat just minutes away walking to the Lincoln Park Zoo and several good restaurants in the neighborhood. It’s a quaint clean basement with almost everything you need available to you. My only recommendation is bring a portable fan or two with you because you cannot control the temperature of the room and it got fairly warm during our stay. Our portable fan was a lifesaver in this instance.

Very nice and central to everything that mattered to us. There are stairs to contend with but we are in our mid 70's and had no problems navigating them. Jon was a wonderful host and we will be back.

Perfect Spot in Lincoln Park

My mother and I came to visit my daughter in Lincoln Park. It was a perfect location for us as she was only a block away. I was able to park my car and walk to the zoo, the lake, shopping, and eateries. We enjoyed the cute patio with morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail before meeting the kids for dinner. It was a great stay.
