The Stained Glass Apt. in Edgewater

Just for starters, Felice's place is stunning. Her eye for rehabbing her place is right on, done to the style of the place as it was meant to be. Her decorating are so like our own that we felt at home. She is an artist - stain glass to name only one medium.

Felice is an easy, quiet, and warm person. We are grateful to have found her place which is in a quiet spot in Edgewater, within walking distance of the red line at Granville. Our stay with Felice was great and we would stay again in a heartbeat.

This was our first trip using Airbnb and it was fantastic. Felice's apartment is beautiful, with stunning craftsmanship in the kitchen. She was a fantastic host & made us feel very welcome. Our trips into the city were easy, as parking at Felice's house was a breeze. The Red Line is less than a 10 minute walk from her home. We had a great time.

Staying at The Stained Glass Apt, is a truly unique and great experience. A real Chicago gem. The apartment was comfortable, clean, and full of different types of works of art to be discovered everywhere. Felice, was more than happy to talk about them and explain their origin, as well as share travel experiences. She is a wonderful, generous, and helpful host. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to try her special cappuccino, make sure you do not miss out on that additional bonus too!

First and foremost, the stained glass apartment is simply GORGEOUS. I have total apartment envy. The neighborhood is absolutely adorable, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to explore this part of Chicago. If you are looking for a real slice of what it's like to live in the city, this is the cozy, warm, welcoming, environment for you.

The train is super close, and I thoroughly enjoyed my walk there and back each day. I spent a week here when I was in between apartments...brand new to Air BnB, I was a little apprehensive about the whole experience, but Felice was an amazingly welcoming hostess. My first afternoon (a cold, snow-filled day) Felice greeted me with hot tea and homemade chocolate cherry scones. The next afternoon, she generously shared her kitchen (and her recipes) with me--we enjoyed drinking beer and cooking dinner together!

The bed was comfy. The place was sparkling clean. The bathroom was spotless. I had a lovely time here and I would recommend it to anyone! Felice, thank you for the best week I've had since I moved to Chicago!

Staying with Felice was great! After an early-morning flight and a train ride out to Edgewater, we were so happy to be met with her offer of fresh-made coffee! Felice's space was a perfect home base for our quick stop in Chicago, and her advice and friendliness made the trip even more enjoyable. We'd definitely consider staying here again--a great host, a cool neighborhood, easy accessibility to the Red Line, and a welcoming space all made this a great experience.

Well what can we say.....if you want to have a boring stay in a dull home with an uninteresting host.....don't stay here! Felice is the warmest soul who has a passion for travel & a love of people. She was extremely helpful in finding out what we were into so she could help with suggestions. Her home is one of peace & is surrounded by curiosities & pieces that reflect her unique & open personality. We cannot speak enough of our wonderful stay. The neighbourhood is lovely with beautiful homes lining the streets. Go for a walk & chase some squirrels! Most importantly......she has a coffee machine. We love you Felice & will always look on our stay in Chicago with a warm smile. Whenever we drink spiced rum we'll think of you xxxx ;)

If you're interested in a cool art-filled apartment in a thriving Chicago neighborhood close to public transport with a great host, this is your place! Bonus: it's reasonably priced! Felice is a Chicago native, an artist by trade, and world traveler. She showed herself to be a wonderful host--warm and welcoming, generous, responsible, and most knowledgeable. When I arrived at the apartment much later than anticipated, tired and dragged out, Felice offered me a meal that she had prepared. The next morning, she made us cappuccinos and scones. It doesn't get better than that.

Felice is a warm and welcoming host. I felt completely at home in her beautiful apartment. Each room is filled with works of art, hand crafted and unique. Felice is a fascinating person to share a coffee with and will indulge you with a delicious expresso each morning. Staying in her home was an excellent way to visit Chicago. The apartment is located in a fun neighborhood and is walking distance to public transportation and lots of restaurants.

We are also sorry we missed you, Felice (I had to get to work early)! Our afternoon chat was great, and we really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was a lot of fun -- we really enjoyed Gino's North and Ellipsis in particular.

Very nice room, great host.

Over 20 yrs ago, I dared to say 'I cannot afford to travel', with that statement, Felice (a person whom I barely met) replied with 'You save $1,500 and I will show you France and Italy for 3 weeks'. AND SHE DID...Felice opened a whole new world for me. She is the most honest, enthusiastic, positive soul. Felice loves connecting with people and knows how to introduce others to the amazing city of Chicago. Typical tourist stops are not to be missed, but it is the not-so typical stops with Felice that remain most memorable. Felice will have bits of information or stories to share, perhaps a route that includes hidden treasures and palatable delights. My visits with Felice's are intoxicating and her passions are addictive. I always compare Felice to a wonderful book that you never want to end. Treat yourself to a dose of Felice; your soul deserves it!

Felice is an amazing and welcoming person. She is extremely well traveled and can entertain for hours with insightful and often hilarious stories of her journeys across the globe.

She is passionate about Chicago and can recommend things to see and do that you won't find in guide books or travel web sites. If you're lucky she might even give you a bike tour of her beloved city.

Her home is a warm and cozy retreat. It is stylish, artistic and filled with funky finds from her wanderings, near and far.

You won't regret staying here. It is a place that has always felt like home to me!!!

For the past three months, I've been living in Felice's apartment while I'm here for a summer internship. As her tenant and friend, I can honestly recommend the Stained Glass Apartment to any and all visitors to the Chicagoland area.

The apartment: Felice's apartment is located about 30 minutes north of the loop and offers the security and beauty of a suburb while still being in Chicago. It is in a convenient location, as the red line Granville stop is about a 6-8 minute walk away and it is near countless shops and restaurants. The inside of Felice's apartment is stunning. She has an eye for unique antiques and art that cause the apartment to be incredibly exciting and inviting. She has incredible sense in decorating and has created an apartment that is warm, open, and gorgeous.
The host: Felice, over the past three months, has become a very close friend although we'd never met before I moved in. She is a loving, generous, caring person who can brighten up any bad day with her positive attitude and infectious laugh. Felice truly looks for the good in all situations and has helped me find new perspectives on moments that I had looked upon negatively. She is a fountain of information about Chicago and could direct renters not only to tourist spots but also to places in Chicago that are a bit less well known for a more true to Chicago and unique experience.
Overall, I would recommend Felice's Stained Glass Apartment to anyone because she is a loving, generous person who offers a beautiful and inviting home.
