About the host

Hosted by Diane DiGirolamo

Host profile image
My wife and I have enjoyed living in our vintage 2 flat on the tree lined street in this Lakeview neighborhood for the last 42 years. So many places are within walking distance that we rarely use our car except for work. We have rented our 1st. floor as a short term vacation/temp apartment for the last 20 years and have hosted guests from all over the world, including locals relocating or remodeling. We have truly enjoyed hosting guests that have come to explore the city, go to a ball game, go to a special family occasion, or to a conference that brings them to Chicago.

Why they chose this property

We purchased our 2 flat located in this north side neighborhood almost 42 years ago as a place to live and raise a family. We have never regretted moving to Lakeview. It is a vibrant neighborhood filled with tree-lined streets with an admix of vintage-maintained homes and apartments as well as small and medium-sized condominium buildings. This is a true Chicago neighborhood filled with a healthy mix of young families and singles as well as older long-time residents. It is very walkable. There is little reason for a car. Excellent public transportation to downtown, and Lakeview is a very walkable part of town. It has been rated 92% on the walkability index. Just a great place to experience a Chicago neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

Our 2 flat was built by a German family in the late 1800's. There is the original hutch in the diningroom. The yard is just a great place to sit out with a cup of coffee or have a bbq dinner and eat at your table set on the stone patio.
