Check out my basement apartment in Irving Park. The property is right off of Addison Street. Free parking and close to the 90/94 expressway. The Addison Blue Line subway is a 10 minute walk.

Basically a rec space, I rent this out at different times of the year as a convenience to those looking for an alternative to hotels and want to live like a local. I am not part of a property management group, but do love accommodating guests.

***The back yard area is not available for use.

As your host, I will help with any information you may need to make your stay in Chicago a memorable one. If I'm in town and not working I will be able to greet you upon your arrival. However majority of the time I am away, and will provide instructions on entering the unit.

The unit also has a private entrance that only you will use. Plenty of permit parking available in front of the house. I provide the permits.

    Our host was incredibly accommodating, kind, and responsive. The directions were clear, the beds were comfortable, and the towels were soft. Everything was clean and easy to find. We especially liked the little extras, like the parking permits and fans for the bedrooms.

    My daughter and I stayed at this location last month and we really enjoyed our stay!!! The lower level apartment was super clean, very comfortable, and in a great location, so close to bus stops and the train was just a quick walk away! The neighborhood was also very safe and quiet. Our host had fantastic communication and made sure everything was just right for our stay, giving us helpful tips about the area. He also provided parking permits for our car and we loved being able to keep it just outside the house! We really have fond memories of staying here and will definitely look for it the next time we’re visiting the area!!! Thank you for everything, Jed!

    I'll confirm that the ceilings are low. That said, clearly states that in the description. Even with, nicely set up level with furniture, dining table and refrigerator/freezer. Even a microwave. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the temperature was pleasant. Lovely neighborhood with many stores and food places nearby. Host was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.

    We could not be more pleased with our long weekend stay here. Before the trip, all communication was quick and seamless. Check in was easy. Two comfortable bedrooms, a cozy living room area, dining room, and full kitchen (with eat in table). Also, a walk in pantry! The bathroom was clean and stocked (couldn't figure out how to stop the tub for a bath but that didn't detract overall). The neighborhood was a great choice. Easy walking distance to grocery store (Jewel Osco),a a FANTASTIC diner (Sunshine Restaurant, with a friendly old couple running it... They will know your preferences after one visit and treat you like beloved family by the end of your stay).. Heck, you can even walk a few blocks to a Goodwill if you want to pick up Cubs gear before hopping on the bus (a block from the apartment) to get to Wrigley. We would absolutely stay here again.

    Perfect for a long weekend in Chicago. Space was more than big enough for our group of 4. Everything was very clean. We didn't make anything except coffee in the kitchen, but it looked like it would have worked well if we didn't have other plans.

    This property had everything we needed to explore Chicago for a few days. The neighborhood is very cute and walkable, and everything in the apartment worked as it should. One thing You need to know is that this is a basement apartment with low ceilings.

    I enjoyed a weekend stay here for the Chicago Marathon and it was great! The location was on a nice, quiet street, while still being close to stores for anything you need and public transportation (trains & busses). The apartment was clean and had all the necessities and the host was very kind and communicative. Would highly recommend!

    Great place to stay while attending a Cubs game, especially if you have a dog traveling with you. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Close to bus route to Wrigley Field, less than a block. Our favorite place to eat was Easy Street Pizza and Beer Garden, 2922 W. Irving Pard Rd., which is a short drive approximately 7 blocks away.
