The place is nice and clean. Public transportation is very close by so you can hop on CTA and visit McCormick Place and Downtown with ease. We loved the neighborhood and the architecture too. My wife says that it probably beats Baltimore’s.

Incredible owners and communication made the entire process very, very easy and stress free. The unit feels brand new inside and (absent a hair dryer) has every possible amenity you could ever need. The neighborhood was way more comfortable than i expected having never been to the South side of Chicago before. The only possible criticism is the layout of the bed and the need for one person to crawl over the other in order to get out. In general, I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again and will be sure to look at this property availability first when planning my next visit.

Such a cute and homey place!! Me and my partner absolutely adored staying here. Area is nice and about a 10-15 minute walk from the green line which takes us right into the city. The host was super communicative and direct with instructions which was much appreciated. The environment was so cozy and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

My girlfriend and I loved this home, it was exactly like the pictures plus more in person. This lovely home made us feel at home. The host is very attentive and understanding. This was my first home I booked on Vrbo and I would love to book this stay everytime I need a vacation.This home is remarkable and made us feel at home. Thank you to the host again allowing us to enjoy our vacation in this sophisticated, comfortable home. I love it.

Great stay in Bronzeville

The property was as advertised. We had a private apartment with easy access and no hassles. The neighborhood was very clean and quiet. We parked right outside and there was always space. The location is very accessabe by public transportation. The # 3 King Drive and # 4 Cottage Grove buses go to downtown Michigan Ave. The "el" is an easy walk to either the 43rd Street station or 40th & Indiana station. The Lakefront is close by and great for walks and biking.White Sox Park is only two miles and McCormick place is one exit down Lakeshore Drive. Hyde Park is also close. The area is primarily residential bot there were a few nearby restaurants notably the Bronzeville Winery on Cottage Grove and Truth Italian on Pershing (39th) for breakfast. I will stay here again. Access to Chicago is easy.
