Be aware this is an old building but everything was very clean. Location was also great. Just a ten minute walk to Loyola University Chicago and a 5 minute walk to this really awesome breakfast place called Honeybear Cafe (try to make reservations cause it was packed when I went). I made coffee every morning and ironed my shirt with no issues. This place reminded me of apartments I used to hang out in when I was younger. It has a rickety floor and noise pipes, but I personally felt right at home and really enjoyed my time in it. The bed was comfortable and I had no issues sleeping. Fully stocked kitchen if you wanted to make your own food. There is a bunny living in the courtyard that seems friendly. As I already said, I enjoyed my time here entirely.

We enjoyed our stay at Demitri’s place! The bed was very comfortable and the place was clean. It is an older building so expect some noise from the street and neighbors. The location was very convenient to the L, the Morse stop on the red line is just a block away and you can get downtown in about 45 minutes. Demitri is a very responsive host and made check in easy with clear pictures and instructions.

Very convenient location near transit. Far enough away that you couldn’t hear the transit. Apartment is comfortable and comes with nice amenities like coffee, creamer and sugar. The kitchen seemed well equipped. I spent limited time there since I was visiting with family. I would rent this apartment again. Location to the beach is walkable.

Great first floor apartment

Very clean, roomy apartment. Giant tv and no internet problems. Fully equipped with all needed essentials. We stayed a week taking care of family business on the north side. The location was great. Street parking was difficult but we managed to find a spot. Only complaint was some nights it could get a little noisy with people shouting in the alley but hey, it’s the city! Would definitely stay again. The host was super nice and helpful.
