  Layne is a gracious and lovely host, it was great to meet her. The location is very convenient to downtown Chicago and the highways, and the neighborhood is beautiful and fun.

  I've arranged two stays with Layne -- both times for a work stay with designers visiting Chicago from San Francisco. Layne is a pleasure to work with and both designers have had nothing but great feedback.

  It was our first time in Chicago and my first time using Airbnb, and staying with Layne was a great way to do it. Awesome location. Restaurants and bars all within walking distance. The host, Layne was very nice and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

  Layne was an excellent host and the apartment was everything we'd expected. Layne was available to answer any and all questions and was extremely helpful in recommending tons of different things to do and see in and around the local area. The location is great and really easy to get to all parts of Chicago. We used a 3-day transit pass and it worked like a breeze. I would have no problem recommending with Layne or her beautiful apartment to anyone in the future.

  Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your space. It was perfect for us and it could not be in a better neighborhood for those who want to be near all of the best taverns, galleries, and restaurants that Chicago has to offer. The space is open and very well decorated with original paintings and prints. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The place has Netflix, wi-fi, and a great book collection for those times that you just want to hang out. Everything was exactly as... More »

  Jim and I had a wonderful stay @ ALONZO !! The location was perfect for our needs. The wonderful open space allowed our family share a Christmas celebration that was unsurpassed. Small children appreciated this inspiring Artists space. Adults enjoyed the fare wrought from the kitchen. Everything we needed was at hand. You Rock...Layne. Hpoe to see you again soon. Happy New Year ! Blessings Jim & Chiquita

  I cannot say enough great things about Layne, she is extremely helpful and knows the neighborhood and Chicago in general like the back of her hand. The loft is really beautiful designed with very cool furniture and her absolutely amazing artwork. I was staying at a hostel for two weeks before I stayed at Layne's and I wish I had known about her loft when first moving to Chicago. The location is great, a short walk to the Damen blue line and all the great shopping and restaurants.

  This was our first Airbnb experience and won't be our last! Here's why: Location: Having been to Chicago several times, we wanted out of the loop and this location delivered. There are many cafes, shops and restaurants very close by and Bucktown/Wicker Park is about a 20 mins walk away. The bus is very accessible. Place: It looked exactly as the pictures show, except the bedroom which was BETTER. It is small but the room fits the overall decor of the place and there is a big dresser for... More »
