The gracious and welcoming hosts provide an historic and spacious 3rd floor, 2 bedroom, 1 bath unit with a large and comfortable living room area between the bedrooms. This home is a larger, old-century home with much of the original architecture in place and some updates in the bathroom.
The third floor is quiet and fairly easy to access via the home's central stairways. You enter the unit via the main front door of the hosts' home so expect to be greeted warmly by the owners when coming and going as well as their very sweet Labradoodle dog. Check-in was a breeze with Markeith and he is very helpful with giving area directions if you have questions.
A modern-hotel-like experience is not what to expect here, but that's not why anyone would stay here. The owners’ touches like soft, cozy bed linens and bath towels, and generous pillows for the beds are thoughtful. The third flood has its own central air and controls. There is a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker in the dining area of the large living room.
The CTA train line station is just a half-block east and north which provides close and convenient access to United Center events (one stop east), Garfield Park (one stop west), and the downtown loop area (just 4 stops east/10-minute ride away). We stayed here for the Pitchfork Festival and Union Park is just two stops/5 minute ride away and drops you right at the main gate entrance. A 3-day CTA pass is currently $25 which is a bargain compared to taxis/ubers/lyfts, especially with station access so close.
We enjoyed our time very much on this trip and you couldn't ask for better hosts.
