Is Nate the nicest guy in the world? Yes. After 30 hours transit from Melbourne with a 3 year old and an infant, Nate's smiling face was a sight for sore eyes. He greeted us at the door, helped bring in our luggage and even picked up some things for us for breakfast. Nate was so quick to respond to any questions and nothing was too much trouble for him or for his wife both on the lead up and duration of our stay. As for the apartment... it was lovely, spectacularly clean and in the nicest neighbourhood. The neighbours were so friendly and it was so lovely to come home in the late afternoon to find it was 'family time' in the Neighbourhood. The toys were fabulous and our three year old loved playing in the special little area. We can't recommend staying here enough if you have small children - or if you don't! If we are ever back in chicago i dont imagine we would ever stay anywhere else. Nate, if you and your family are ever in Melbourne we would be delighted to show you around. Please look us up!

Loved our stay in Nate's one-bedroom apartment! I was traveling with my eighteen-month old daughter and Nate's place was perfect -- fully stocked with lots of toys for her to play with! Nate and his family were warm and relaxed hosts. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place on the North Side of Chicago. Nice neighborhood, fairly easy parking and a clean, well-equipped apartment. What more could you ask for?

Excelente la casa de nate, y el es muy amable

This place is wonderful! Comfortable, great location, and kid-friendly. We enjoyed meeting Nate, walking in the neighborhood, climbing the tree house, and, of course, all that Chicago has to offer. Nate even went beyond and provided an extra air mattress. It was affordable and the bed was very comfortable.

Nate's place is in a terrific location: a real functioning neighborhood, quiet yet close to stores and eating establishments and public transportation. The space itself is cozy yet comfortable and is set up with everything needed for a stay, and more. Very helpful house manual for nearby restaurants, stores, etc. And Nate himself. Tops in communication both before and during stay. Very accommodating re arrival & departure times, and since he lives in same building, he is readily available for anything. We would love (and plan) to return to Nate's place.

Everything about this place was great! We loved the neighborhood - within walking distance of great shops and restaurants as well as easy access to public transit, easy access to Uber and cabs, accessible parking for however you like to travel through the city. Nate was incredibly welcoming and the apartment quickly felt like home. The neighbors were also incredibly friendly. The unit felt even bigger in person than in the pictures. Although we spent most of our time out in the city our time in the apartment was comfortable and quiet while the neighborhood felt safe and lively. I've already recommended to friends who are visiting Chicago in the next few months that they look into here. Thanks, Nate, for a great stay!

This was another great stay at Nate's. The apartment was spotless, as usual, and we were able to communicate with Nate about arrival and departure time needs. We always feel well looked after and we love the neighborhood, with its excellent location with restaurants, markets and public transportation. We highly, highly, highly recommend this apartment.

I arranged a stay at this apartment on behalf of some guests who were visiting me from Austria. The following review is based on their feedback to me: The apartment was very clean and quiet, in a good area, and accessible by public transportation. The furniture seemed new and was very comfortable. The apartment remained comfortably cool, even through some of the hottest weather Chicago has ever seen (104-105 degrees plus intense humidity). There was plenty of closet space, and even games and toys, which we didn't use but would have been great for kids. Also there was a stack of maps and information about Chicago, which was very helpful as this was my guests first time in the city. Nate and his family were extremely kind and gracious with all of us. Nate's mother-in-law was able to communicate with my guests in their native language (German) and even invited them up for a coffee and brought them a couple "welcome" beers. The only (very minor) problem was that the internet connection was sometimes spotty, but this could have been a fluke. The situation was easy enough to navigate for us because there is a coffee shop very close by that also offers wireless. It might also be worth reiterating that the kitchenette offers no stove or oven, but the microwave/minifridge/sink/table/dishes/silverware/etc were plenty for us.

Honestly, I wish that I could've stayed in Chicago longer just to hang out with Jaclyn. She was an incredible host and her home is absolutely beautiful (I can't stress that enough!). She was quick to respond whenever I had questions or concerns and was full of great recommendations for food and drink. I can't wait to come back to Chicago and stay with her again!

I looked up at a white non-descript house and began my adventure into the world of Airbnb. After a quick knock, Jaclyn welcomed me into her beautiful home which she has styled with attention to every nook and cranny from the baby cactus hanging from the kitchen window to the happy ferns bathing in the light of the sunroom. Jaclyn was wonderfully warm and hospitable and introduced me to the very safe Lincoln Square neighborhood, recommended me interesting places to eat, and taught me how to use the metro which is actually just a convenient 10 minute walk with a train that goes directly to Midway (Brown line) without any changes required. I do have to confess that my favorite part of it all was meeting Zanmi the cat, a delightful little fellow. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable stay that I unreservedly recommend.

This was my first experience with Air bnb. Jaclyn's place was clean, welcoming, and I felt completely at home. She was there to greet me when I arrived, gave me a tour of her home, and had a welcome basket on my bed. Her restaurant recommendations and directions were very helpful. I had such a wonderful experience staying with Jaclyn. I would absolutely choose Air bnb over a hotel every time!

Alin was a very responsive and reliable, but unintrusive host. I enjoyed my stay as it was convenient to life's every day necessities, and yet close to Lincoln Square and all its finery. The flat was clean and well stocked. I wanted to extend my stay, and Alin was quick to reply and take care of the business end of our transaction. Good location, good value, and great host.

Great stay and lovely home. Thank you Lili

Nice place, clean and cozy. Host was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay there again.

flexible and great place to stay

Alin is a great host. His place is very clean and spacious.

Alin's apartment was perfect! It was so spacious, clean and very comfortable. The grocery store is just a few minute walk, and public transport around this area is so easy. Alin was easy to contact and was very prompt. If anyone is looking for a place to stay I'd suggest Alin's! I know for sure I'll be coming back to Chicago and would stay here again.

Very clean, comfortable and quiet.

Place is just like the pictures! Perfect location & Everything is comfortable from the couch to the bed

Katy's place was in a great location. I was with my husband but I would have felt safe even if I had traveled by myself. Katy was a great host and was accommodating for check in when our flights in were delayed. The place itself was clean and felt like home. The only issue we had while visiting was that it was super hot and humid. There was no central air in the building. My husband and I were confined to the bedroom where there was a small AC unit for most of the trip. All in all it was a great experience. Katy was extremely responsive to my inquiries and responded almost within minutes of me asking questions. I definitely recommend staying here if you're wanting to head to Chicago.

Great spot! Amazing coffee next door, CTA is a quick walk away.

Kathy's place is full of inspiring artwork and it's close to a lot of places! The bed was a futon so keep that in mind if you have specific sleep requirements. Also, there are pets living in the house during your stay. Overall, a wonderful host, place, and experience.

Everything she promised and more. Communication was excellent. Made you feel right at home. Excellent neighborhood. This was my first Airbnb, it definitely won't be the last. I will definitely be reaching out to her on my next visit to that area.

Charming little house in a great neighborhood, thanks Kathy for hosting me!

Kathy was so kind! Her home was beautiful and perfect for what my mother and I needed. And the neighborhood is fantastic as well! I would recommend her home to anyone who needed a place in the area. We may also come back again if possible.

Kathy was very communicative prior to our arrival, and her home is comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Exactly what we needed for one night in the city. Conveniently located within walking distance to our favorite part of town(Lincoln Square). Kathy was very flexible with our check in time when we we're running late. Room was cozy.

Kathy was great! Our stay was comfortable and she was really good at keeping us abreast of what was going on.

Kathy's place was great! Super clean and comfortable! She was friendly and the neighborhood was wonderful!

Great little apartment. Very clean, lots of sun and a nice breeze.

Visiting Chicago? Specifically the North-Side? This is a must.

Sayora has an amazing space that is perfect for a weekend in Chicago. It is just as described. The location is prime with super easy access to public transit via the L and bus and local restaurants and bars. Would highly recommend!

Sayora's place near Lincoln Square was in a great location for our get away to Chicago. 5 minutes from wrigley and Andersonville. Lots of vintage and antique stores in the fun and hip area that is Andersonville. Sayora made sure check in and out was easy and efficient. We found the studio in a very clean state with fresh linens and towels. She left us a portable battery charger to use out in the city and a list of recommended spots to hit. We will definitely be recommending her to visiting friends and using ourselves again in the future.

The place was awesome and very clean. The communication with Sayora was great because she helped us with early check-in and good directions during our stayn in her place.

Sayora was an awesome host! Thoughtful about those little needs like snacks and toiletries. I really enjoyed staying at her place. Super clean good vibes and excellent location. Would highly recommend!

Sayora was an amazing host. Private studio with tons of charm. He place was very nice inside and also in a really amazing neighborhood only a few blocks to the train. Great place for commuting downtown.

This place was awesome. There was snacks for us, breakfast foods, as well as local beers to try in the fridge. The room was clean and really close to Lincoln square, Wrigley field, and the the train to downtown. Sonya left out maps of everything to make it simple to navigate Chicago, a pass for the train, and a portable charger which all came in handy. It was an awesome place to stay!

The experience at Amy's place was nothing short of perfect. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in her apartment. She made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was unbelievable. So close to everything you would want. This was my very first Airbnb experience and it will be an extremely tough one to top!

My wife and I had a fantastic experience at Amy's place. It's obvious that she strives to make sure her guests enjoyed the experience.

We had a great time at Amy's apartment, which was a perfect location for visiting friends on the north side. Also, there were several great bars and eateries a short walk away, along with the L, so we could easily be tourists, too. Amy was a wonderful host, and had adorable notes around the apartment to help us with our stay.

We had such a wonderful stay in Amy's beautiful, spotless apartment. The location was perfect for us. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe and walkable and the amenities were amazing she didn't leave a stone unturned! We look forward to staying here on our next trip to Chicago!

Amazing! Good to find somewhere nice to stay over the weekend, thanks Amy!

Everything was just perfect at Amy's apartment! The location was not only great for enjoying the city, but right across the street from a park, wonderful for our dogs. Everything was clearly explained in the welcome packet and there were nice notes around the apartment too. Great space, I'm sure we'll be back!

Great north side neighborhood location and comfortable apartment.

Out of the 4 or 5 times I have used AirBNB my experience with Amy has by far been the best, and that's saying a lot because all my experiences were amazing! Her place is wonderful, and she has it set up in an extremely welcoming, guest-oriented, and homey manner. She provided more than we could have ever imagined needing and made sure there was no possibility we would not feel welcomed or at home. Amy was very good with communicating and got back to me very, very quickly as well as being very flexible. The value is absolutely insane considering how beautiful and clean the apartment is as well as the location. The neighborhood is super nice, parking is great, and she lives right down the street from the best Taqueria I've been to outside of Texas amongst many other nice restaurants, cafes, and bars. Amy is an exceptionally great host and person and there is no doubt you should try booking with her if you are making a trip to Chicago! I will definitely be coming back when I return!

Our place was clean and quiet with easy parking and access —with a private entrance and bathroom. Our hosts were friendly, easy going and prompt.

We had a great stay. Very caring hosts!

Erica was a wonderful, accommodating and informative host! Their family greeted us with a warm welcoming! The room is spacious, spotless and well equipped with all the necessities. Separate entrance and a personal bathroom makes you feel at home. Cookies, drinks and red wine were an unexpected lovely touch to our stay! Public transportation is accessible within minutes and the neighborhood is quaint and safe. Thanks again for having us!

Erica was an excellent host. She was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. Having a private entry and bath was awesome! Highly recommend!

Erica and Jacob were very welcoming. The room was in the basement and is very private with it's own entry. I had my own very comfortable bathroom. The towels were large and luxurious which was a very nice treat. They provided a bottle of wine and drinks in the fridge, along with some goodies. I appreciated the coffee pot in the room also. I felt like i was staying at a relative's home and enjoyed it very much. I plan to return.

Erica's place was wonderful. Extremely clean and well communicated. If this wasnt 5 stars, I don't know what is.

Super séjour, Erica et Jacob nous ont bien reçu. 20min du centre ville, mais bien desservi. Commerces et restaurant à proximité.

Erica was a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and helpful. We had a great time. The apartment was perfect for us, we couldn't ask for anything more!

The host made it very cozy for us and very easy to understand how to get around the area. She printed out a list of shops and restaurants and provided a map that had them all marked off so we knew where to go. The neighborhood was great. Peaceful and relaxing.

clean and tidy house with enough space for 4 people to sleep. Abt 10 mins walk to brown line. We like the place.

Lisa and Jason have a very awesome and humble home to offer. We felt very comfortable, and at home during our stay. They were willing to answer any and all questions that I had, and we're very helpful throughout. Thank you for allowing us to stay there!

Lisa's place was awesome! Great location!

Our experience with the unit was great. Lisa was very responsive, hospitable, and provided a lot of quality information (including a binder of info that was at the door when we arrived.) The apartment is really nice with a few couches, a cool sound system, and all the household stuff that one could want to use. Everything went really smoothly and our group had no complaints at all. We definitely recommend this to anyone else looking for a quality place to stay.

Lisa is a thoughtful and responsive host. I loved my stay. The space is clean and adorably decorated.

The host canceled this reservation 72 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great place and great location.

My parents enjoyed staying at John's place for a few days while visiting me in Chicago. The location is awesome- steps from beautiful Winnemac Park and walking distance from Lincoln Square's many offerings. The unit itself is simple and comfortable. Perfect for one person or a couple. The layout is great with a separate living room, dining area with adorable kitchenette, and bedroom. They enjoyed doing a little cooking there. It's a garden unit so the ceilings are low but that wasn't an issue for my folks. John had many helpful amenities placed throughout the unit and even welcomed my folks with a bottle of wine and water bottles. Thank you, John!

Every detail during the stay was well communicated before we arrived. Peggy (& Fin) insisted to welcome us even though we arrived after midnight due to flight delay. Peggy is very thoughtful that she prepared a Ventra card for us to charge so that we can travel through the city more conveniently. It has been a very pleasant stay. Will definitely come back if we visit Chicago again.

Peggy went out of her way to accommodate my request to arrive early. Her house is on a quiet street but very close to many restaurants and things to do. You get the whole lower level to yourself, the place was very clean and comfortable.

Peggy is an AMAZING host! We ended up with a hotter-than-expected day in Chicago and Peggy not only directed us to a lovely beach, but hooked us up with beach chairs, a swimsuit, sunscreen, and sparkling waters to enjoy! If we ever return to Chicago we will definitely stay with Peggy again. The room is private enough and the house and deck are beautiful.

We loved the place and Peggy is awesome (and so is Flennigan!). It was perfect for us. Excellent location, safe neighborhood, convenient for public transportation. Highly recommended!!

Warm and cozy place in a delightful neighborhood where you can walk to the L or many good restaurants. (Try River Valley Farm Table snd Glenn's Diner). Your host, Peggy, is fun, friendly and easy to talk with.

Peggy was a terrific host. We found out we went to the same college program in Rome on different years. Highly recommend her place!

Peggy's place was great. More than just my own room, I had my own living space and bathroom, which was very private and relaxing. I had everything I could have needed during my stay. Peggy was a great hostess and I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Chicago!

Chez Peg was a perfect place for me to stay for the weekend in Chicago. It was quiet and clean with room to spread out and relax. Peggy answered all my questions and made my stay easy and fun. Her home is walking distance to great restaurants, coffee shops and parks. I rented a bike for a few hours on Saturday and rode to Lake Michigan along Lake Shore Drive. Next time I am in Chicago I will stay here again!

Megan was an amazing host! One of the best air b&b hosts I've ever had! Her home is adorable, clean, and the location is great. Megan is great at communicating and responding quickly as well. Definitely recommend!

What a beautiful condo in a great neighborhood! Megan was a terrific communicator and made me feel very welcome. Her Bernese Winnie is adorable! The condo is extremely clean and well appointed. The bathroom is private and very nicely appointed. I had a wonderful stay in a choice Chicago neighborhood on a very walkable one way street.

Great spot in Lincoln Square! Perfect home base for exploring the city. Megan is the perfect host! Her place is as welcoming and comfortable as advertised. Excellent dining close by and easy access to the CTA put Megan's place at the top of the list.

Megan is an awesome host and her place is in a great location.

Her place offered a lot of nice places to eat within walking distance and the subway isn't to far away really friendly neighborhood with lots of things to do

Megan was very kind and made us feel at home. The place was very beautiful, great location, and homey. I definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Our stay at Mari Pat's studio was great! It was very easy to communicate with her about our arrival, and all important info about parking, internet etc. was readily accessible. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and a short walk from all of the restaurants/shops in Lincoln Square. We would definitely visit again on future trips to Chicago!

Another wonderful stay at Mari Pat's!!! It feels like a little home away from home. Love it---a comfy place in a wonderful neighborhood. Beautiful part of Chicago with shoppes and a park nearby.

This is our third time staying with Mari Pat and Johnse! It's a perfect place! We have our own entrance and as much privacy as we need. The space is so bright and cheerful! The artwork in the apartment is so eclectic and fun! It is convenient to both busses and trains as well as very affordable! They did everything to make our stay special and personal. There is not a better place to stay in Chicago!

Couldn't have asked for a nicer place or hosts! The apartment was clean, charming, quiet, homey, located in a great neighborhood with access to various forms of transportation. And the porch! If you come in the early summer (like I did), you can enjoy your coffee every morning surrounded by hanging flowers and watching the birds mingle. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Mari Pat made our stay very pleasant. Apartment was clean and perfectly suited to our needs. Mari Pat made check in/check out super easy. Nice place in a nice neighborhood.

Mari Pat's studio was lovely! Pretty, spacious, private and perfectly located. Would definitely stay again :)

Mari Pat had the beautiful studio ready and waiting when we got there! She had breakfast starters and warm and cozy decor that made us feel so welcome! We had a map and a wonderful notebook full of eating and activity ideas for us! We tried her suggestions and loved them! We really enjoyed the proximity of businesses and activities in her neighborhood! The best part, though, was the porch complete with bird-watching! We loved her cats too!! We hope we can visit her again next summer!! Thanks, Mari Pat for a perfect place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay with Maripat and Johnse. They were excellent hosts. The accomodations were great. The area was very nice and the location was convenient to everything. We do have a suggestion for other guests, if you are driving, try to be parked on the street of the studio before 6.p.m. or you may not find a parking space.

Allison was super nice, checking in and out was very easy, the apartment was clean, nice neighborhood. Overall, a really pleasant experience!

The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Allison was a fantastic host! She made us feel at home and was very friendly. The room was beautiful and well kept ! Highly recommended

Perfect and safe place if you want to visit Chicago. Quick walk to the Brown line. Several great neighborhoods nearby too to explore and family friendly. If you don't mind the sound of the el(but that's part of the charm of Chicago,) I recommend! Parking might be a bit of a challenge, but not a deal breaker. Overall, worth the trip!

Allison was an extremely friendly and gracious hostess. Her home was clean, quiet, and lovely. The location was fantastic, located right around the corner from the L. Would suggest staying with her to anyone planning on visiting Chicago!

We loved staying here! It was our first Airbnb experience and we couldn't have asked for a better host, Allison is so nice! The place is very neat and clean, just like the pictures. The neighborhood is nice too, we felt very comfortable walking around. I would definitely recommend booking here.

This is one of those places that is BETTER than the pictures. VERY comfortable bed and decorated in the most interesting and fun ways. The whole house is really a treat. Allison included many little extras that made us feel especially welcome. Super conveniently close to the el. You will hear the trains passing by her building into the evening and then again in early morning. I'm a pretty light sleeper and still slept fine. This is part of reality in these neighborhoods. Highly recommended.

Had some troubles with the lock on entering but was appropriately compensated for the trouble and knew that she would get back to me after dinner. The place was beautifully decorated and setup - very clean. The place was also exactly what I needed and close to work. Some people may have a hard time with the train but I have no troubles falling asleep plus it stops earlier than other lines in the city.

Musa was very responsive and friendly. The apartment was perfect for my needs

The room was great for my stay. I was easily able to communicate with Musa by phone even after arriving on an early AM flight. She was an exceptional host and her daughter was very pleasant and social. The room was comfortable and private and the neighborhood was very safe. Great for walking around and exploring.

A nice place to stay. Very quiet. So single travelers that are just looking for a place to sleep, this is perfect. Also parking on the street is plentiful. There are a lot of Uber's, with one going to wrigley that took about 15 minutes and cost $10 each way. Lincoln square is right around the corner as well.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Musa was an excellent host for my month long stay. She was always a prompt communicator and extremely kind and helpful to me. She and her daughter are both lovely!

Anthony's home is absolutely beautiful. The home was very clean and spacious. Everything was arranged for us and we felt just at home. He answered promptly when we had questions. I highly recommend Anthony's home.

Anrhony is a very warm and accomodating host

Nice house and good location. Anthony was helpful and very flexible about the check-in and check-out times.

Anthony was a great host and was very prompt with his communication.

Anthony was a wonderful host and communication skills were at par. I felt the beds were smaller than advertised though. Unfortunately the time we were there, wifi was not available due to maintenance. Great private property :)

Anthony's place is awesome, you could even stay in and don't visit Chicago!! ;P

Anthony was a great host and very helpful with directions, etc. The 3-bedroom home was very roomy and even had a pool table. Nice decor, provided bedding, towels, hair dryers, etc. And had 3 bathrooms which was nice for 6 people. You will want to take uber especially at night if you don't have a car. The walk to the train station is through a questionable neighborhood. We did it during the day but at night always took uber.

Anthony was a great host! We loved his communication with our group.

The house is near the super market. Its convinient to buy and eat. The room is small but nice.

Centrally located with a view of the Sears Tower from the bedroom window. Walk to tons of shops and restaurants. Great way to experience life in downtown Chicago.

I had a great stay at Dan's place. Dan was very communicative, and an excellent host: friendly and helpful while still respectful of my privacy. Wish we could have gotten a game of foosball in! The apartment was just as described; the room is cozy, quiet, and roomy. Also, everything was very clean. Would highly recommend. Thanks Dan!

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed staying at Dan's for 4 nights. He was very clear with the instructions on how to get into the apartment. The bedroom was very nice and clean. We especially liked walking out to the balcony to enjoy the great Chicago weather. Dan was very accommodating and even let us keep our bags at his place for a couple hours longer so we could see more of the city. We had an awesome time!

Private bedroom, private bathroom for a GREAT price in an expensive city. What more could you ask for?

Grate host, grate location, and nice neighborhood. The room comes with a privet bathroom that is a big plus for my wife and I. Next to public transportation, grocery store, and some restaurant (We ate in the city so I don't know the quality of the food around) All over, I highly recommend Dans place.

Dan was an amazing host. We came super late, like post midnight, and he still welcomed us. His instructions were very clear, and he chatted with us and answered our questions anytime. Also, parking was an issue (on street), but Dan provided a parking sticker.

My girlfriend and I spent four nights at Dan's place. Good position if you plan to both explore the "Windy City" and to reach the Northwestern University in Evanston. Dan is a cool guy, he does very interesting stuff and it's a pleasure to have a chat with him. The room is cozy and quite close to the brown line and to the Ravenswood metrarail station.
