Sheridan Beach Apartment
Amy is an excellent host! She was so proactive about reaching out ahead of time and checking in on us. The unit was extremely clean! Easiest check in I have had with Airbnb—clear/specific directions. Amy was also super accommodating with our checkout time—we had a late flight (7:45pm) and we were able to check out at 5pm instead of noon which allowed us to maximize the last day of our trip! SO close to Loyola beach and has easy access to public transit. There are just a few improvements that would make this a perfect Airbnb: 1) the mattress is uncomfortable (extremely firm), 2) there is a beautiful kitchen but it is not well stocked with the basics (strainer, cooking utensils, pots, etc)—we made do by getting a little creative! Not a problem if you plan on eating out the whole time. 3) A few end tables would be nice for setting a glass of water/coffee etc, 4) needs a few more towels for being so close to the beach! Nonetheless, I would love to stay again and highly recommend!!

The Wine Down
"Our stay at this Airbnb was fantastic! The apartment was clean, stylish, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, with easy access to public transportation and great restaurants. The host was super responsive and helpful, providing great recommendations for local spots. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the welcome basket and detailed guide to the neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again!"

Cozy Chicago Apartment next to the River
Very walkable to public transit, super comfortable sleeping arrangements, and beautiful apartment in general!

Cozy 1BR in South Loop | Convenience in the City
Great place to stay! Can get anywhere in the city, its right off the "L". Not far from Michigan Ave, either. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who is traveling to Chicago.

Elegant 2-bed/2-bath in the heart of Uptown
The apartment was extremely clean!!! I loved the attention to detail. Very quiet street for sleeping at night and easily walkable to beach, restaurants, and attractions.

Clean, comfortable, and beautifully appointed apt. Emily and Roya are helpful and communicative, and all the instructions and photos made things very easy. Would happily stay there again!

Modern Lakefront Retreat with Breathtaking Views!
Great 1st floor town home on the boarder between Rogers Park and Evanston, right on the waters of Lake Michigan. Lots of sunlight (and able to watch the sunrise over Lake Michigan in the morning) and a couple of parks next door. The bathrooms (especially the showers) were great--full size, nice water pressure. I was able to work remotely while I was there without any issues. As others have noted, parking is on the street; but if you're proactive or book with Spot Hero or similar, it's very manageable. I really enjoyed my stay!

Spacious & Elegant N Side Apt Near Beach & Transit
We loved this stay!! It’s a beautiful apartment and is walking distance to a great coffee shop called charmers, as well as almost ON Jarvis beach! The hosts are very friendly and preach over communication and make sure that you have all of the information you need! They allowed us very early check-in had we needed it (I believe by 2pm!) and the apartment was spotless! Very comfortable bed and living area, plus an office if you’re visiting for work. This is a great part of Chicago, with most Ubers we took ending up around $20! There is ample street parking on Jarvis, especially with the beach entrance at the end of the street. We would recommend this space and these hosts to anyone and everyone visiting Chicago. They were so kind and organized and really made for a wonderful trip!

Rasheed was very attentive. His home is in an excellent location, walking distance to resturants and shopping. The rooftop provided a spectular view of the city. I would definitely recommend Rasheed's home on a trip to Chicago!

Beautiful home layout and very spacious! Location was a quick drive to the city, which was convenient. Host was also very kind and attentive. Thank you Ms. Lilly for our stay!

Lakefront View Getaway Home! Hot tub! Kayak!
Hugo was a great host. The house was just like the listing, ideal for a weekend with friends. We were five couples with children, an ideal family atmosphere. It has games and equipment to enjoy the lake and garden, such as a small pool, life jackets, sport balls... It was a great weekend thanks to the space and the house, highly recommended!

Spacious house patio/free parking
Beca is responsive, friendly and helpful. The house was spotless, immaculate really! I'm somewhat of a clean freak - so the bar for cleanliness was right up to my expectations. The decor and plants are much to my liking, so of course I felt at home - away from home. My family and I found it to be comfortable and cozy. I also want to mention that I had a couple of requests and Beca was accomodating, which was appreciated. My husband and I thank you Beca and we surely hope to stay again!

Modern Wrigley Oasis with Parking!
The Airbnb was clean, exactly as described, and in a great location. Check in was easy and we were able to get settled right away. William was very proactive in communicating instructions well before our arrival. Overall, we had a lovely time visiting Chicago and would recommend staying here!

2BD/2BA MAG MILE MASTERPIECE (+Rooftop)
WWWWOOOWWW!! This host team was EXCEPTIONAL! I’ve stayed in plenty of AirBnBs, and I’ve NEVER encountered a host that was so EXTREMELY accommodating, responsive, and kind! Other hosts should take a page out of their book! The only thing I would change, and it’s not a bad thing (just a matter of preference); I would have some type of blinds or drapes over the living room windows. This will allow for privacy when you’re sitting in the living/dining room areas at night with the lights on inside. Hands down, we would without a doubt book with this team again! Thank you Wendy, Matt, and your co-hosts for helping to make our time in Chicago wonderful!

HUGE Modern, 1BD Home Office, Chef's Kitchen Patio
Spacious with many amenities! Great place to relax with friends.

Where you want to BE! Stylish, Comfy, Luxe
This was truly one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared. The space was not only beautiful and impeccably clean, but it also had so many special touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. What made this stay exceptional, though, was the host. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about making my visit as perfect as possible. Every question I had was answered so promptly, and they offered wonderful local recommendations that made my trip even more memorable. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond with such sincerity, but that’s exactly what this host did. I left feeling not just like a guest, but like a friend. I am so grateful for this experience and would return in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommended to anyone considering this stay — you will be in the very best hands!

Spacious Wicker Park Hideaway with Parking!
This place is near so many spots it was awesome! to go down and get food right below or just walking across the street and grabbing some food. the place was very well cleaned, had great spots just to sit and chill. beds very comfortable, rooms very spacious. water pressure can be very in and out sometimes but water was warm/hot and lasted a full shower.

River North Hideaway w/Amazing Views and Parking
William paid attention to detail and was responsive. Quick and informative Great location

Bronzeville Tribe Palace Loft
Nice place to stay, quiet at night. Felt secure and well appointed!

Cozy Studio Apt near the lake on the Northside
The place was perfect for a solo stay. Has everything you need and easy to get around the rest of the city or suburbs. Very close to the lake and the el. Parking was also super easy. Niah and Ken were super responsive and helpful for anything I needed.
