The house is in the heart of Rogers Park which is an amazing neighborhood in Chicago's Northside. Rogers Park is rated the 14th most diverse neighborhood in America. Although this home is in a semi-gentrified portion of Rogers Park it has not suffered the same fate of loss of community and upswing in gentrifiers as many other neighborhoods in Chicago such as Logan Square, Lakeview, and Andersonville.
The home offers a beautiful lakefront view and huge windows with amazing lighting and is just a block away from Rogers Park Beach. It is a huge space and when I rented it was fairly cheap compared to other properties.
The only complaints I have are that the bed duvets aren't super comfortable and seem to be cheap but who cares when you get such a beautiful space for so cheap. Also, the AC was quite weak but that may have been an issue that can be solved through maintenance which the host did offer to send over. Although I declined because I thought I fixed it at one point.
I highly recommend this space for anyone looking for a genuine Chicago experience but still looking to soak up the luxury of the lakefront.
Keep in mind parking during the day is fine but at night it gets harder. But this is an issue anywhere you stay in Chicago.
