Vacation rentals with a balcony in Illinois

My family came for a long weekend during spring break and had a great time! CVS and local market across the street. Walkable to lots of good coffee shops and restaurants. A block or so away from the Blue line which made going into downtown super easy. The place was clean, cozy, and we all loved the artwork!

Catherine is a very responsive host. The apartment was exactly as described - clean, great location. It sleeps four people comfortably. There is a futon couch in the living room but I think only a small child would be comfortable sleeping on it. With that being said, I would definitely recommend Catherine’s apartment and would rent it again when in Chicago.

Nice, affordable and in an awesome neighborhood. There were four of us and we had plenty of room and then some. Would definitely stay here again!!

Perfect little spot for what I was coming to Chicago for. I was able to street park without a issue. Cute eating places near by.

We have stayed here before, and certainly will again. It is such a comfortable place to stay - clean, spacious, with a well-stocked kitchen (including the much-appreciated coffee for the coffeemaker!) The Ukrainian Village neighborhood is wonderful and peaceful, but close enough to restaurants and a supermarket. When we were first considering this Airbnb, the comment that helped the most was someone saying "don't be put off by it being a basement-level apartment". That is so true. There is plenty of light, there is heating in the floors in winter, and it is so carefully designed and constructed that it has none of the feel of a "basement".

Had a nice stay. Did the trick as a place to sleep while exploring the city. Good location

I would stay again

Our stay was great! Matthew is an awesome host - responsive, helpful, and friendly. The place is spacious, clean, and funky, as well as easily walkable to nearby food options and the subway. Would definitely stay here again, and keen to try out one of the other OHC properties too.

We came with a group 4 adults and 4 kids to see a game at wrigley and explore the city. the house and location were both perfect for what we needed and a great 'home base' for a long weekend of activities. Would recommend highly if you're visiting Wrigleyville or Chicago.

Had a great stay over St. Patrick’s day weekend. The apartments are in a very walkable area with great access to public transportation. Fenton was also very quick to communicate and gave clear instructions. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

The location alone makes this home worth booking. Add that there’s ample room for family/friends and it’s a gem in the middle of a great Chicago neighborhood. We were a group of six and loved every minute.

Hosts are super kind & very responsive — area feels very welcoming and safe — Space was beautifully decorated & had everything we needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting Chicago!!

My colleagues and i stayed here for a tattoo convention. We all enjoyed the place, found the rooms to be accommodating especially with a group as big as ours (9 people.) The neighborhood was quiet, but still close to everything you need. We had no issues our entire trip. Definitely a more hands-off host, which we appreciated! 10/10 recommend for anyone needing to stay close to the chicago area.

We loved this place. Stayed here for a bachelor party trip, and the Airbnb was one of the many highlights of the trip. Bob was cool, super friendly, and helpful. The location is about a 15-minute walk + 15-min L-Train ride from downtown. I'd highly recommend checking out the neighborhood bar Best Intentions, which is close to the Airbnb. We also really enjoyed the sauna located in the courtyard of the Airbnb.

One of the most you unique Airbnb locations I’ve ever stayed. Bob did an amazing job creating the space . Feels more like a home or something out of photo shoot than an Airbnb. Great space to bring a big group for the weekend. The wood burning sauna was great to have and he was nice enough to set it up for us .

Had a great stay at this Airbnb! The house was fantastic, located in a perfect spot, and the host was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

I appreciate how host was responsive to my messages. I was not fully aware of the way to put the parking sticker in my car window and incurred a $75 ticket for posting it on the interior left side and not right side. This was not any fault of the host, just very disappointing that the local security was not more mindful as the sticker was there, just wrong side and I was from out of state. The kitchen was nice, however if you plan to cook much, bring a 9x13 casserole dish and some pot holders.

Very quiet Peaceful and plenty of spaces for parking Host was great the response was great! I would definitely recommend this place!

We really enjoyed our three nights in Matt's roomy upstairs apartment. Great to have a space in his garage; the car stayed parked there while we took the blue line downtown each day. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the Logan Square station. If you're flying into or out of O'Hare, it would be convenient, since the airport is the last stop on the blue line.

My friend and I really enjoyed this spot. I loved everything about it. It was perfect for what we wanted to do in the city for 4 days. Amazing spot for Cubs games. You can even see and hear the crowd from the front door. How exciting! And the Cubs decor warmed my heart. It had everything we needed, and wanted. I appreciated Kimberly’s attentiveness and responsiveness. Thankfully we didn’t run into any issues. Highly recommend this place and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again in the future.

Comfortable bed, convenient, perfect for any length of stay. I hope to stay here again when I travel to Chicago.

This place was very nice. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The kids enjoyed playing with the pool table. There was enough pots & pans, plates, cups, bowls & silverware for the 6 of us. The pans were a little small (had to cut bacon strips in half to cook in pan & cook 3 lbs of ground beef split in 2 portions). The fridge was big, clean & loved having two different ice sizes. The major downside was parking. We rented a car because we wanted to explore Chicago so the street parking around the neighborhood was rough. There ended up being a fire in one of the near by buildings & we had to wait for the fire trucks to move (blocked in). Another time we had to back out & drive the wrong way to get out. The train station was under construction but I’m it could’ve been an option if we weren’t traveling with young kids & at night. Not an expensive cost to take an uber to Wrigley Field for the 6 of us. We had a great time! Alex was really responsive & helpful. Would say again.

Was there for work and shared it with a few other coworkers. All in all it’s a great place, spacious and comfortable. A few things do not work (fireplace, fridge water dispenser, 2 burners in the stove) but we still had a great time and work/ relaxed while there. Location is great and easy to get to from train at any time. The building is a bit noisy but we did not care.

This was the fourth time we stayed here . We visit our daughter and grandchild 2 blocks away . The home is very clean and homey. Joseph goes out of his way to meet our needs .
