Summary:
Come stay in our one-bedroom studio apartment with a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. Take in the perks of our central location with easy access to the Gold Coast beach and public transportation. Gibsons and the Original Pancake House are also a stone’s throw away.

The property is the perfect refuge after a long day in the Windy City or sunbathing on the beach. After working hard and playing hard, a comfy bed with high-quality linens ensures you’ll be restedand ready for the next day.

The Space:
Located on one of the desirable, famous streets in Chicago, this property is a 5-minute walk from the Gold Coast beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. The subway and the Magnificent Mile are also well within walking distance. This basement studio is ideal for those who want to combine a city break with some beach time.

**Please note that due to the age of the house, the pipework has been known to bang when the heating is turned on. This means that the space is not suitable for very light sleepers or those sensitive to noise.

Entering the studio takes you immediately into the open plan bedroom/living area, which has a space-saving double wall bed and a double-velvet chesterfield sofa bed. Furnishing and amenities include a TV, nightstands and tasteful period decor throughout. There is also a comfortable fold-out single bed available for those who need it.

The bathroom comes with a double sink, jacuzzi bath and built-in shower so you can feel relaxed and at home.

Our one-bedroom Chicago studio is ideal for families or couples and can host up to 4 adults.

Guest Access:
We provide a lockbox for flexible self-check-in.

Guests have full access to the basement apartment. Please do not attempt to enter the townhouse above— this is a separate home.

Both suites are locked and rented out as separate listings.

Noise must be limited after 10 pm to avoid disturbing residents and neighbours.

The Neighborhood:
This area of Chicago boasts some of the best restaurants, bars and cigar lounges in Chicago. It's a truly special place to stay.

Please check out my guidebook for some local recommendations.

Getting Around:
The studio is very well located for public transportation. The subway is within a 5-minute walk. There are bus stops at the end of the road.

PARKING
Unfortunately, we do not have permits for the street.
There are multiple multi-storey car parks all within a 10-minute walk of the property. The prices vary from $30-60 per day depending on proximity to the property.

We also recommend using SpotHero online to book a space, which is usually cheaper.

Other Things to Note:
There is a high likelihood of noise due to the city centre location and being below a Townhouse. Neighbours are nearby, and noise in the flat must be limited after 10 pm. The pipes in the suite are also known to bang slightly when the heating is on.

We may require a deposit for single-night bookings, last-minute reservations, and large booking groups. This can be retained for noise complaints, unauthorized parties, excessive uncleanliness, or damage beyond normal use.

Unfortunately, we do not have parking permits for the street. There are multiple multi-storey car parks all within a 10-minute walk of the property. The prices vary from $30-60 per day depending on proximity to the property.

Interaction with Guests:
Our host is contactable at any time via Airbnb.

**Please do note our head office and main contact is based in the UK and operates on GMT. It may take me a few hours to reply from your late afternoon onwards. For any emergencies, please call our housekeeper who is based in Chicago.

    While the unit itself was clean, besides the can of leftover Dip above the stove, and well-located, our overall experience was unfortunately overshadowed by extreme and ongoing noise issues that made the stay very difficult.From the moment we arrived, there was persistent and excessive noise coming from the unit above us. The footsteps, banging, and general movement overhead were constant and far louder than what would be considered normal apartment noise. It reached a point where it became quite unlivable, especially during evening and nighttime hours when rest is essential.In addition to the upstairs noise, the pipes in the unit would bang extremely loudly, often without warning. The sounds were so sudden and intense that they were genuinely alarming, repeatedly waking us up in the middle of the night. At times, the noise was so aggressive that it caused real fear that someone might be trying to break into the unit. This made it very difficult to feel safe or relaxed during our stay.I did my best to handle the situation respectfully and communicated with the host on seven separate occasions regarding the noise issues. While I appreciate the host’s responsiveness, the problems unfortunately never improved. Due to the ongoing disruption and lack of rest, we ultimately made the decision to check out a full day early, as it was no longer manageable to stay.

    The property was great! Very clean and comfortable, well equipped, and in a nice location close to public transit options. The provided fans, heaters, and blankets will be appreciated as the thermostat is controlled by the upstairs unit. Overall it was a wonderfully pleasant stay. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area, and would definitely consider booking this property again.

    This location can’t be beat. It’s one block away from the action and sits on a quiet little street filled with historic Chicago buildings. We had a piece of cake time entering the unit and it was very clean. You’re close to everything, Michigan ave, Gibson’s, Lou Malnati’s, and many more. You’re also close

    The best location in Chicago! As a Chicago native, I have to say this property is the absolute best location in the city. In a safe, beautiful neighborhood and steps away from shopping, restaurants, the beach and walking distance or a short Uber ride to all of the museums or tourist attractions. Check in was easy, internet worked well and the host responded immediately when one of the outdoor lights needed to be replaced. The only criticism I have is that the carpet needs to be replaced in the bedroom because it is spotted and dirty, but otherwise the unit was extremely clean.

    My daughter and I went for a convention in March. This was our first time in Chicago and it was a great stay. This property is close to everything. I just wish I would have known that there is no free parking anywhere, I would have just taxied everywhere instead of getting a rental and paying for it to be parked the entire time. This property was cozy and had an entire kitchen. The bathroom is much bigger and nicer than you would get in a hotel room. While we stayed there there were other guests staying above us. We stayed in a basement type studio apartment. The footsteps from the other guests were loud and when the heat gets turned on there is loud banging sounds coming from the heat system. It terrified me and my daughter because we didn’t know what it was until we read the binder that is left in the room with all the information you need. Over all this was a very good and affordable place to stay.
