I bought this house in Spring of 2016 and have been remodeling and updating it. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs with a full bath located in the hallway. One bedroom has a king-size bed and the other bedroom has a queen-size bed. The main level has a living room, dining room, kitchen, powder room and another bedroom which I use as my artist's studio. The basement level has a full bath, living room, laundry area, pool table room and bar. There is a queen-size foam mattress sofa bed in the basement. Finally, I have a large backyard that is completely fenced in, along with a 2 car garage. My house will comfortably sleep six adults with two people to a bed.

This adorable home is in a safe neighborhood, and has it’s own backyard and garage!! It also a coffee bar and breakfast nook, and 3 bathrooms. AC works great- it was in the 90’s. Lots of great places to eat nearby, my favorite was Al’s #1 Italian Beef, and we went to place called the Royal Palms - a Shuffleboard Bar, they don’t have food, but there was a food truck there that day. It was super fun. House was well maintained, clean, and I would definitely recommend.
My family enjoyed a wonderful stay at Dena’s home. It was so clean and well appointed with everything we needed, and in such a great neighborhood. We enjoyed the front and back yards during good weather, and were appreciative of the fans and a/c on hotter days. We were able to walk to many coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. And Dena was always quick to respond and very helpful if we needed her. Would stay again in an instant!
Perfection! We chose the house because of the location. We were attending our daughter’s Army commissioning and graduation at DePaul in the same weekend. The house was perfect—location, clean, ammenities. We had a family dinner one night and the kitchen was stocked with pots and pans. We sat by the fire pit one night, we sat in the breakfast nook each morning for coffee and enjoyed the sun. It felt like we were at home. The absolute best VRBO we have ever stayed at.
Comfortable home, thoughtful details, thorough communication
My husband, 8 month old, and I stayed here with my sister, her husband and their 14 month old for a weekend. We will absolutely stay again if we can! Dena's home is stunning! The beds are comfortable and the home is spacious. There are plenty of towels and extra linens. The detail of the check-in process and neighborhood guides are so thoughtful. Dena communicated clearly before our stay and I felt confident that if we needed anything while we were there, she would have helped as much as she could. But she has truly thought of every detail and set up her house in a way that you are all set! She goes above and beyond in her accommodations. You can tell that she is proud of her home and we are lucky that she shared it with us. The location of the neighborhood is great, too. You can hear the blue line, but it was by no means disruptive to sleep (coming from someone who lives in a very quiet neighborhood). We walked a lot to get around, and L-stops were also convenient. Don't miss the 606! We walked to it, (about 12 mins). Such a cool feature of the city!
We had a wonderful experience staying at this property! It is an adorable home, great location, the host was very communicative, and everything was perfect for our 2 puppies. Just perfect!!
We had a wonderful stay at this immaculate and well-appointed property. The home had everything we needed and then some. We particularly enjoyed the private backyard and being able to walk to numerous restaurants and shops. The host (Dena) was very kind, responsive, and helpful. We highly recommend this property!
This house is amazing. Perfect for getting out to explore Chicago. Communication with the owner was great and she even had some art supplies out for our daughter to occupy her time when we weren't out exploring. I would definitely stay here again if we come back to Chicago.
The house and yard worked exactly as we hoped for my wife and I, and our daughter’s family including two grandkids and their dog! It was also well decorated and just had a nice feel to it.
It’s easy to tell that Dena is a very caring person, and she’s an excellent host!
This was a terrific home for a holiday stay with our grown kids. We chose Logan Square because our daughter lives close by. The home was very clean and cute! It was pet friendly and didn't smell like dog. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in front yard where he could people watch! There were lovely touches in the home and it was all decorated for Christmas for us to enjoy. The Agora Market is great, little gourmet market very close to pick up anything you might need. The host did everything she could to make it a 5 star stay! Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful four-night stay in your lovely home. The garage was a plus, the living room was a perfect spot to watch the Olympics with the family, and the bedrooms offered a peaceful night’s sleep. We will be in touch should we breeze thru town again!
We had an amazing two weeks in Chicago visiting our son. The house and the yard is lovely. Dena is a fantastic host, she was very quick to respond and made us feel like we were home.
Dena’s home was amazing for our family. High quality upgrades throughout the home made us feel right at home. Communication was excellent. The area is perfect for experiencing Chicago city living. We will definitely stay again!
We had a great time at Dena’s house. It had every amenity imaginable and we could walk to almost anything we needed. Would recommend for a stay of any length.
We all loved to stay at Dena’s house! It was very spacious and had everything you’d ever need in a house. The location is great, good restaurants within walking distance and a quick walk to the Blue Line to take into the city. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place that is close to the city but still has a very neighborhood feel.
Amazing property! Excellent location - easy access to the Blue line and parking was a breeze with private garage. House has been updated and in excellent condition! Super clean and had all that you could want or need for your stay. Owners were very helpful and quick to respond when we had questions. We had a great time - thank you!!
This cute and colorful cottage is filled with charm and art. The main floor is ideal, with a comfy sofa, large and useful dining table, and super kitchen. There is an office on that level, as well as a breakfast nook in the back with great light. Downstairs you will find the washer/dryer, a bedroom, and a game room. The upper level is accessible by a narrow and steep stairwell. Two bedrooms and a very nice albiet small bathroom await. Your hosts, Dena and Dan, are as welcoming and friendly as possible. The downside is that there isn't a lot of space for your own things among the owner's items, but it's still worth a stay! Highly recommend.
This property—and host—are 5 STAR! ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️!!! Dena’s home is spotless, comfortable and way more spacious than any other 6 person accommodations!
Our family gathered from California and the MidWest for Memorial Day 🇺🇸 weekend. The kitchen was well appointed for us to do some cooking, we were able to find street parking, and everything you could want for coffee and eateries is walkable!
To top it off, Dena was super responsive, easy to work with, and was genuinely invested in ensuring that we enjoyed our stay.
Would definitely stay at Dena’s again when visiting the Windy City!! 🌆
This house is a gem. Very well-maintained, clean, comfy high quality furnishings, and lots of unexpected amenities. Garage access was a plus. A Big open and updated kitchen, dining area, and living room made it easy to hang out with the family, prepare meals and relax. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Just beware, if you come during summer months and hot weather, the temperature in the house does not regulate very well from floor to floor. There is one cooling system that kept the basement frigid cold, the main floor fairly comfortable, but the upstairs was extremely hot. If you plan to come, you should check the forecast. If it is over 85°, I would contact the host to see if they have remedied the cooling situation. A simple portable air conditioner would have solved everything. We were hoping the host would have offered to provide this but during our stay she was traveling out of the country at the time and very difficult to reach with the time difference. We were given an emergency local contact and tried to ask for assistance. We suggested bringing in a portable AC unit, but the contact did not offer. As guests in the property, we felt this should have been a reasonable request given the circumstances. Other than this temperature issue, we did have a nice stay and I would recommend.
This was such a great place to stay during our visit to Chicago. Neighborhood had many great restaurants and was close to public transport. Highly recommend!! We will stay here again the next time we are in town!
