About this apartment rental
Summary:
This is such a lovely spot and I think you will quite like it. The space features wonderful large windows in all of rooms and has all of the quirky charm that vintage buildings offer up. The location literally can't be beat, with the apartment a five minute walk from Wrigley Field, the bustling Southport shopping corridor, and both the red line and brown line subway stations. It's about a ten minute walk to all of the 'Boystown' nightlife. There is no parking available with the apartment.
The Space:
This apartment was originally the engineer's apartment for the building, and I made it up to be my home in the city. I decided recently to try living in a new spot for a bit, so it still has all of my art, furniture, and books...it's a real home and I hope you will find it as cozy as I do. I've used my years of experience as a superhost and designer to set up this unique flat so that it includes all the comforts of home while embracing the quirky charm that only a vintage building can offer.
Please keep in mind that because my flat is located in a 100+ year-old urban building on the ground floor, you may occasionally find an errant cobweb or two, in spite of my hardworking staff's best efforts. They clean the flat several times a week but you may still see the work of an enterprising critter pop up during your stay. Please also note that you may occasionally hear some noise from my neighbors or passersby.
⚪ LOCATION ⚪
Although shops and restaurants are only a short walk away, the area feels peaceful and secluded. Because of my flat's central location, I strongly recommend leaving your car at home. Any point of interest in Chicago can easily be reached by walking, public transit, or Uber.

⚪ PARKING ⚪
Parking isn't included and the streets around us are all either permitted (local residents only) or metered, so make sure not to use those spots. When parking, be sure to check all signs nearby because it's easy to get a ticket when parking rules are broken. For the easiest parking, we highly recommend using a service called SpotHero to reserve a spot nearby before you arrive.
Guest Access:
The entire flat is yours. If you smoke, we ask that you go off of the property (not outside of the back door). The building laundry room is just outside of the back door and your building key will open it.
Other Things to Note:
The apartment is still full of my books and a few of my off season clothes, as well as my furniture, accessories, art, and maybe a picture of my mother (she insists and has been known to stop in and spot check)O so if staying in a real person's flat will make you feel weird consider this
