The interior is spacious and comfortable for lounging and relaxation. We have done our best to make this property a show up and enjoy space with all the comforts of home.

    We loved the location of this apartment! Easily walkable to Lincoln Square, the brown line, and pretty much anything you could want. As other reviewers have said, parking on the street is easy here. We always got a spot right in front of the house and we never saw a time that the whole block was parked up. There's lots of room here and it has a very homey feel. It's great to have the hosts nearby, too.

The property was gorgeous, immaculate, and perfectly supplied.Parking at the property was not only easy, but ample AND FREE.The owners were easily accessible and couldn’t have been more friendly or more helpful.This is a gem in one of the neatest city neighborhoods I’ve experienced.

    This was my third time at Wilson Manor. It is starting to feel like my 2nd home. The vintage of the house is similar to both my grandparents and my parents Chicago homes (100 years old) and I feel very comfortable there. I love the old wood floors and piano!

    This is a beautiful property in a classic Chicago home. It is a really large apartment with plenty of room for family and it is extremely well stocked. The streets are wide and the free street parking is plentiful. The town of Lincoln Square is darling with plentiful restaurants and great stores. You can walk to everything and anything easily, including the brown line. It was a wonderful stay. I would definitely stay again.

    Another 5-star review; I agree with all the other reviewers' comments. Hosts were neighborly, responsive, and kind. Public transportation was close by and so easy to use. Always felt safe walking about and taking the bus by myself, at all hours -- news reports of crime and ICE presence in Chicago doesn't reflect everyday life in lovely Lincoln Square. Neighborhood is family-friendly, walkable, calm. Tons of fun restaurants and coffee houses a short walk away! And the apartment is huge -- great for families and small groups. Loved the many bookshelves full of books. I wholeheartedly recommend this Vrbo.

    This property is located in a quiet family neighborhood conveniently near shops and restaurants and minutes from the brown line for easy access to the rest of the city. There is plenty of street parking available. The hosts were very generous in accommodating our last-minute reservation. The condo was comfortable and as described. We would recommend this property to other visitors and will look forward to staying here on future trips to Chicago.

    This place was super cute and HUGE! Large living area, dining room, and eat in kitchen with a nice bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Walkable to so many places to eat, grab coffee, and enjoy Lincoln Square area with shops too. Only small complaint would be a tiny bit of dust here and there in the bedroom I stayed in and the bed wasn’t my favorite. But I’m picky! Lisa was very communicative and accommodating. We were very happy with our experience and the sweet happy birthday messages!

    Lisa and Mark were so easy to communicate with and definitely want their guests to have the best experience while staying on their property. Their rental is so cozy and comfortable. (I had two great nights of sleep - great beds!) And the location is fantastic! If you've never stayed in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago, you are in for a treat! It is absolutely charming. Plenty of street parking (I know, shocker!) and the brown line of the cta is super close and easily can get you to other parts of the city. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you, Lisa and Mark!

    If you love beautiful, antique houses this lovely space is for you! Located in Lincoln Square, this spacious and light-filled home is filled with antiques and comfort. The beds were comfortable and the bath kitchen were each well stocked.The neighborhood is quaint and felt safe. Parking seemed to be abundant and we parked right outside the house each time we returned. Restaurants and shopping were within walking distance as is the L. Downtown Chicago is an easy train ride away.I didn't meet the hosts ( this time) but Lisa responded to our needs and questions in a quick and friendly fashionThe apartment was clean and welcoming. Books and games galore for the entire family to enjoy. There is a baby grand piano in the dining room for those musically inclined. Cherry on the top was that the entire place was all decorated throughout for the holidays! We didn't want to leave! 10stars across the board. We truly hope we can stay here again and again.well stocked.

    Lisa and Mark, I truly cannot thank you enough. My father just having passed away I have been in a very emotional state. Your home provided me with a comfort and inspiration I needed so badly. Even more so it has been your incredible kindness that has made me feel supported, respected and cared for. You’ve gone above and beyond to make my stay the most pleasurable, safe and comfortable I’ve ever experienced in a rental like this. In fact I instantly felt at home from the chalkboard sign welcoming me by name to the cozy comforter on the super comfy bed. I slept better here than I have in weeks. I’m forever grateful and hope to visit your pizzeria with friends and family in the future. All of my gratitude and respect, Caroline

    We absolutely loved this location. It was within walking distance to restaurants, coffee, shops, and a beautiful park. It was two blocks away from my sister‘s house, which is great for us. The beds were comfortable, the sheets and bedding were the best I have ever seen at a VRBO. The only two minor aspects were that there was still coffee left over from the previous guests and the dishwasher was broken. A broken dishwasher is no fun if you have a family of 4 lol. However, the host was absolutely fantastic, flexible, and a great communicator. Would highly recommend!
