Located in Evanston, just a short walk from Central Street’s Business District and Lake Michigan’s scenic beaches, The Arnold is a bright, character-filled two-bedroom apartment with an additional office / TV den / guest room that offers both flexibility and charm.

Set on the third floor of the building, The Arnold is filled with natural light and soulful personality. Soft light and vibrant colors mix with antique furnishings and eclectic art, taking you back to an apartment built nearly a century ago — yet fully updated with the modern conveniences of today.

One of the original bedrooms has been thoughtfully reimagined as a multi-purpose office and media room, complete with a convertible sofa that comfortably sleeps two — ideal for remote work, movie nights, or overnight guests.

Unwind in the garden below, stroll to nearby restaurants and shops, or explore Evanston’s bike paths, jogging trails, and lakefront parks. Inside, you’ll enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry, and all the details that make long stays easy and enjoyable.

If you’re visiting Chicago’s North Shore, you’ll be close to Northwestern University, Evanston Hospital, Rotary International, and nearby lakefront communities like Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, and Highland Park. The Metra and Purple Line stations are only a short walk away, connecting you quickly to the best of Chicago.

NOTE: We require a one-month minimum stay if you wish to book more than two months before the arrival date.

    Our family of four stayed at John's place for a week. We needed somewhere close to Northwestern, so the location was perfect. Loved that it was also close walking distance to a few restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed Backlot coffee in the morning. The condo itself was very cozy and very spacious and creatively decorated. The last few days of our stay it got pretty hot outside, but the AC window units kept the condo very cool and comfortable. John is a very responsive host. He would respond right away if we had any questions or concerns. Street parking was easy and always available for the duration of our stay. Just watch the no parking signs, as there are specific times where parking is restricted due to street cleaning. Also, this unit is on the top floor of a 4 unit condo building. So, make sure you can manage the stairs.Overall, a very comfortable stay. Would totally rent here again should we need a space in Evanston.

    Quiet neighborhood in Evanston. A nice property for 3 people who stayed there. It was convenient location in between northern suburbs and downtown Chicago where we had to visit.

    We very much enjoyed our stay at The Arnold. Beautiful furnishings, well stocked kitchen and a quiet block that’s walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants. It was the perfect location for my family to either travel into the city or visit family in the northern burbs. Thanks John, you made us feel very welcome.

    We very much enjoyed our stay in the apartment and felt right at home. John and Amy are welcoming and attentive hosts and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is terrific--walking distance to the local district with cute shops and restaurants. The apartment was large, well-equipped, and comfortable. Definitely recommend!

    This is our 2nd time staying in the very large, 3bd, 2 bath, 3rd floor unit. We've also stayed twice in the smaller garden apartment. You can't beat the location -- 1 block off the shopping district of Central St, and 1 block to the Metra to go downtown (or a handful of blocks to the el . And a 20 min walk to the beach. Perfect! John is a great host and totally responsive to any needs.

    The property comfortable, hip and vintage. The neighborhood was great with tons of cool spots to eat and cafes all within walking distance. Also very close to public transportation if you want to visit the city. Great spot.
