Photos and Description of the Chicago vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8-10)

Enjoy all that Chicago has to offer and then come home and relax on the huge (20 x20) deck with the best skyline views in the city. This is a charming Condo in the perfect location. Have the neighborhood feel with dozens of great places to go for a bite to eat within a couple blocks, and also explore Chicago's tourist highights which are all very easily accessible from the Subway station that is literally 30 feet from the front door.

The unit has all the amenities you will need for a weekend getaway or a month long stay. It features an upgraded kitchen with granite counters, brand new stainless appliances, dishwasher, laundry in unit, a 2 person jetted jacuzzi soaking tub, a large dining area, a nice desk and workspace with inspiring skyline views, 48 in. flat screen TV, expanded cable, Wi-Fi, Steam Shower and a BBQ grill on the massive private deck.

The location is ideal. Take the Blue line door to door from O'Hare, it is 30 feet to the Chicago Ave Subway (no noise) station. The Chicago Ave. Bus is also 30 feet away. 3 Blocks to the Halsted Bus which will take you north to Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wrigley Field, etc and south to Greektown and the West Loop. The Property is 1 mile from the Sears (Willis Tower), 1 mile from the John Hancock Building, but in a great little neighborhood away from the hustle, bustle and tourists of the Loop and River North. If you are driving, we are located 1 block to the Exit/Entrance to the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/ 94).

The Layout of the Unit is great. There is a lot of common living space, with a nice dining area off of the Updated Kitchen. Another large space set up as an office with a desk facing the skyline. This leads to teh huge living rooom with seating for at least 10 around the large flat screen TV. The Downstairs Bathroom holds the huge Jetted soaking tub. Upstairs has the 2 bedrooms, one of which is 24x14. The large Master bedroom holds a King sized bed and 2 twin beds, and has awesome views of the city. The smaller private bedroom has a Queen bed and a nice desk area. The upstairs bathroom features new upgraded vanity and tile and an enclosed steam shower. Laundry is found in the upstairs bath. The highlight is the monster deck out the back door of the second floor. Enjoy your morning coffee, a glass of wine before you head out, or have a great Chicago night staying in with friends and grilling out.

I lived in this unit for 10 years, so if you have any questions about the location or the unit, please ask. I love this city, and I want all of my guests to enjooy themselves too!

About Steve

I am a Realtor who specializes in the Wicker Park/ Bucktown/ Ukranian Village area. I have resided in the area for 13 years, and just love it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I can point out some fun under the radar activities that you will just love. This unit was actually my home for 10 years, and I hope you love staying there as much as I enjoyed it!!

Steve purchased this condo in 2001
Why Steve chose Chicago

I fell in love with this property when I listed it for sale for a client. At the time I was trying to find a building to house a bed and breakfast. The bed and breakfast never materialized, but I like to keep the dream alive with this vacation rental unit

What makes this condo unique

Check out the pictures of the deck. Its absolutely huge (20 x20). Have friends and family over for a Barbeque, or just enjoy the sunrise and sunset over the gorgeous skyline.

Great city family stay!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 23, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
This place was perfect for us! We are a family of 6 and hotels can be really expensive and don't give the kids anywhere to play. We found the place to be very clean, spacious and well apointed with a beautiful kitchen and a brand new bathroom. Parking was very easy, and Steve, the owner was very helpful giving us restaurant and activity suggestions. The subway station is right around the corner and our family really enjoyed using public transportation. I read some of the other reviews that had bad things to say about the place and was a little scared especially with the kids playing on the floor, but things must have changed because it was in great condiontion. There were even 2 areas for me to do my work from my computer, both of which had fantastic views of the city! We had a great stay and are considering coming back next year.

I rented this property to celebrate my 30th birthday. I had 8 other adults in the home and we were all satisfied and had more than enough space to sleep. We had easy access to the EL train and were able to find taxis quickly at the corner (note: nowhere we went was over 2 miles away). The owner was responsive and willing to help if needed. Wonderful experience!

It is big enough, the price is right, the location is great. There is easy access to the EL train. The view from the deck is very nice. The interior of the home is nice. I would stay here again.

I gave it some time before writing this review in order to await response from my complaint but it never came. I WOULD NOT recommend this property at all except for 2 things. It's very conveniently located and the neighbors are great. This property is listed as being in "Wicker Park". The neighbors informed me it is actually a lower priced neighborhood called River West. The owner never bothered to put in the listing that there are two very steep and treacherous staircases leading up to this condo. 3 minutes after our arrival, upon turning on the lights the breakers flipped. I had to call the owner to walk me through finding the breaker box and resetting the breaker. This would not be the last time we lost power in the majority of the 1st floor, it tripped on a daily basis. The carpeting and furniture were filthy and the leather sofa and chairs were extensively damaged where a cat had used them as a scratching post. The pet odor in the place was overwhelming and renuzit canisters were in almost every room. The bedrooms have no TV and this is not mentioned in the ad. The dryer didn't work, the dishwasher had a foul moldy odor which we tried to remedy and could not. Although the fridge looked new it did not cool even on the lowest setting. We placed water bottles int he freezer and 3 days later only 1 of the 3 were frozen. The air conditioner wouldn't keep the place cool at all and obviously the owner knew that as there were about 10 fans in the place. We were promised parking passes for the week when in fact there were only 2 and you had to change them daily. There was paint chipping off the walls, 2 ancient window units held in place with bright blue painters tape, and stains on the carpet everywhere. This place was so bad we left a day early. I have used VRBO in the past to rent several other places to stay, but I can tell you after this experience and their apathetic response to complaints, I won't use them again. They basically informed me that they are just like taking out and ad in the paper to list something. Their responsibility ends there.

Chicago Trip

WOW!! this place was awesome! Thanks for opening up your home for us! We had a group of 6 and we all had our plans and this place allowed for all of us to explore Chicago on our own terms! So close to the bus and train, close to great places to eat! Close to CVS if we needed any emergency items. Place was clean, plenty of towels and plenty of room. Loved it! The deck was the whole reason I picked this place it was so relaxing having a drink on the deck I truly felt like I was on vacation! If you don't love this place you have issues and need to revaluate yourself as a person!!!

Only one recommendation more curtains, I guess I am just used to having it dark and covered everywhere so the bright mornings I wasn't used to. But I did get up early because of it and so I guess I got more time to explore Chicago!

Thanks again! If we ever come back this will be the place I look into staying!
