Photos and Description of the Chicago vacation apartment rental
3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1.5 Baths Sleeps 6

The view in our first picture is the Chicago City Skyline view from our deck (closed in winter). The next photo is? is our 5 star hot tub. It's your new best friend after a day of travel, sightseeing, or business. ?They are both great places to relax.

Our guests also love our huge 3.5 x 5 shower with Grohe body sprays and steam bath generator.

We are close to McCormick Place, our city center, and all of the great attractions of Chicago. The I-94 expressway is 1/4 mile away. We have a bus 1/2 block from our door and the train is a 1/2 mile walk. It is very easy to get anywhere in the city from our location.

This apartment has 3 bedrooms and 3 queen beds and sleeps up to 6 guests. We also have a queen air bed that can be set up for one extra sleeping space.

Please see our rates page for our current specials.

PLEASE CHECK OUR AVAILABILITY CALENDAR BEFORE INQUIRING. We often book up solid and very early. If this apartment is booked, our other apartment is listing number 271945. You can also reach us at our personal site which is Chicagosbestvacationrentals dot com

We are now offering specials for winter and the 2012 holidays. Please see our rates page for details.

You can view a map of our location at Google Maps by typing in the following information.

529 W. 37th Street, Chicago IL 60609 When the map loads, you can click “get directions” to enter an address or “search nearby” to search for attractions.

The map is at street level, so please zoom it out a level or two and scroll north to see where we are at relative to downtown and McCormick Place. If you're coming for a show at McCormick, please let us know and we'll send information on getting there.

This rental is located just South of Downtown Chicago in the quiet and safe neighborhood of Bridgeport. It is a 10-15 minute drive or cab ride or it's a quick train ride to all of our great attractions on our great public transportation system. Ours is one of the safest neighborhoods in Chicago. 5 of our last 8 Mayors spanning 90 years came from our small neighborhood

Describing Our Neighborhood: Our proximity to downtown, McCormick Place , and I.I.T, has made ours a very hot residential destination for the last 10 years. One of our neighbors 5 or 6 houses away recently built a $2.5 million house and next door is a huge house with an indoor swimming pool in it's own addition that is listed for 1.7 million. New construction and completely renovated buildings like ours are the norm. Ours is a very quiet and peaceful block.

Baseball fans will love that we are a 5 minute walk to U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. For Cub Fans, the train runs directly between both ballparks.

We include one garage parking space with your rental. Street parking in our area is also very easy. Street parking can be tight when the White Sox are playing as we are close to the ball park, but even then, parking is easier than most areas of our city.

More facts about Our Rentals: Our daily newspaper, the Chicago Sun Times recently reported that our neighborhood was voted the best place to trick or treat based on the safety and the family atmosphere of our area. This is what they had to say.

The best neighborhood for trick-or-treating in Chicago? Bridgeport, says a real estate web site that says it factored in where a kid's likely to get 'the most candy, with the least walking and minimal safety risks.'

Bridgeport gets props from Zillow dot com as 'really a family neighborhood.'

Guests need to be 30 years of age. We don't rent our apartments for parties of any kind. Occasionally we will make slight exceptions on the age limit for responsible adults who are not coming here to party. Our guests appreciate that we have a quiet and peaceful environment We also don't rent to groups of students of any age regardless of whether they are chaperoned by an adult. .

The maximum capacity of the apartment is 6 people in 3 queen beds (and an air bed that can be set up for one extra sleeping space). We will sometimes make slight adjustments on these limits with prior approval.

AN IMPORTANT NEW DEVELOPMENT CONCERNING VACATION RENTALS IN CHICAGO.

The City of Chicago has a new ordinance that regulates vacation rentals.

We are a legal vacation rental and our license number is 2074660.

Enforcement of this Ordinance has begun. Unlicensed properties can be shut down by the city and/or their condo association at any time. For these and other reasons, we recommend that you book your rental with a licensed Vacation Rental Owner.

About Bob --PLEASE CHECK AVAILABILITY CALENDAR FIRST

We have mapped out many of our great attractions. They are all within a 10-15 minute drive or a short train ride of 2-4 stops. Please scroll the map to the north and you can see just how close we are to everything. Baseball fans will love how close we are to White Sox games

Bob --PLEASE CHECK AVAILABILITY CALENDAR FIRST purchased this apartment in 2000
Why Bob --PLEASE CHECK AVAILABILITY CALENDAR FIRST chose Chicago

Ours is a very safe neighborhood and very close to our city center. Our guests love that they can get anywhere in the city within 10-20 minutes.

What makes this apartment unique

You will love our deck with the amazing view of the Chicago city skyline, our hot tub, and our huge showers with multiple Grohe Body Sprays. You will also love how easy it is to park and to get around the city.

We are ½ mile from the I-94 Dan Ryan Expressway. It is a 3 mile/5 minute drive to Lake Shore Drive and a few miles from there to the Museums, Navy Pier, Millennium Park, Michigan Avenue shopping and every major attraction in this city.

When we lived in this building ourselves, we would always be able to get to the lakefront from our garage in 10 to 15 minutes as long as there wasn’t rush hour traffic or a game or concert at Soldier Field. Even then, we would take Michigan Avenue, State Street, or one of the other side roads and still make great travel time to our city center.

Ours is a quiet, safe, and friendly family neighborhood. It’s not real trendy, but you can save a fortune on casual dining or drink prices if you want to eat locally some of the time during you visit. You can park easily too. If you want to visit our 5 star restaurants or nightclubs, they are a quick 10-20 minute drive or cab ride away.

Great Stay - Perfect for McCormick Ctr.

5 of 5
Submitted: February 1, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
All around great place and much cheaper than any hotel in the area. Great amenities and easy to find. The neighborhood is residential, very clean, very professional. Public transportation is a breeze, the L is nearby and there are multiple cab services.

The bathroom was awesome, the condo was toasty (it was zero degrees when we stayed) and quiet. The linens were all clean and fresh. Bob has books around the condo with suggestions on food to eat and attractions for you to visit. We ordered pizza from one of the menus and it was perfect.

We didn't really hit any attractions since this was a business trip for a trade show. However it was really easy to get to McCormick Center from here. We had a truck which wouldn't fit in the garage but on street parking was easy to find.

For a place like Chicago this could be rented out for so much more than it is, it's a great deal and works for just about anyone.

Holiday in Chicago 2012

5 of 5
Submitted: January 23, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
My family and I stayed in this rental from December 23-December 28 and it is awesome!! Great price. Great location. This rental worked perfectly for my husband and I and our two daughters, 13 and 10. It was nice to get a three bedroom for this price. Everything that you need is here, the bus stop is just a quick walk and the train station is in walking distance as well. Bob has all kinds of information in the rental that helps you navigate the city via public transportation, restaurant and attraction information and safety tips. These little things were very helpful. There is a closet stocked with all kinds of extra toiletries in case something is left at home.There are plenty dishes in the kitches, along with several tea assortments, spices, etc. You will feel very much at home here. This house is very comfortable. The beds are splendid. I was very happy to see plenty of extra linens and pillows in the closet of the master bedroom. I've stayed in many places that offer two pillows per bed only, and I am a big pillow fan, so this was a major perk. The shower was fantastic, it was kind of depressing going back home to my plain boring shower. The closets are large and open, plenty of hangers. We only went up to the roof deck once as it was pretty cold up there, but the view is really nice. The hot tub is great, very private. All in all, I don't have one negative complaint. Bob is very friendly and accomodating to your needs. Oh, and the picture of Jerry Garcia in the living room is pretty great. :) Thank you Bob for making the Bruce holidays a memorable experience. My husband and I anticipate a return in the summer, so hopefully this wonderful rental will be available.

I can only recommend this rental !

We are a group of six postgrads attending conference in McCormick Place and stayed at this house for a week. The house is very clean, comfortable and spacious with 3 rooms. The house and the kitchen are well equipped and you have everything you need. The bathroom is good and the additional hot tub is great! The rental fee is reasonable (esp. for a group of 6).

It takes 10-15 min to walk from the house to the CTA station, which is fine in the daytime. And it only takes 4-5 CTA stops to get to the downtown/loop. If you get home late in the night, instead of using the CTA, you might want to take a cab and it will only take around 10-15 mins to get home from the downtown/loop.

Overall, it is a great, if not perfect, house and we will stay in this house when we visit Chicago again !

I stayed in the lower apartment while visiting Chicago for a wedding. The place was spacious, very comfortable and clean. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet for being so close to US Cellular Field. (I had been a bit concerned that we'd have some difficulty sleeping, since the White Sox were at home over our stay, but, once inside, you'd have no idea that you were so close to the ballpark.) I recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Had a great time here. All the amenities of home. Loved the shower and the view from the rooftop deck. I also loved the key punch entry that you could feel like it was a just a home away from home. Would highly recommend this. Can't express how great the shower was nice and relaxing and having the hot tub close it was nice!!!
