The place itself was okay, but it was hard to find at first, the parking situation was horrible, and some of the other tenants behaved oddly, which made us uncomfortable and took away from the overall experience.

Perfect living space

The apartment was pretty much perfect, enough room to have space away from the other people in your group. Parking was fairly easy, other than the first night when we made the mistake of driving downtown at night only to come back to no open spaces in front of the building. We ended up parking just down karlov street by the salvation army and returned to a busted out window. Nothing was in the car to steal, luckily for us it was a rental car. I'd definitely try to park as close to your window as possible.

Unfortunate Circumstances

Everything with our trip started out great. The host was informative and helpful with the check in process. Unfortunately, less than 2 hours after our arrival, our vehicle was broken into and the windows were shattered. While filing the police report, we were advised by the police to not stay in the area any longer. We no longer felt comfortable as 4 females and opted to leave the VRBO and move to a hotel. Due to VRBO's policy and the hosts decision to not refund any of our stay, this became a very expensive trip for us. Due to the unfortunate circumstance and the lack of willingness to try and accommodate the situation from VRBO and the host, I would not recommend staying here if you are parking a vehicle.

Comfortable and beautiful apartment!

We really enjoyed our week staying at the Karlov Inn! The apartment was spotless and attractively decorated. All of our needs were anticipated, and the kitchen and bathroom were stocked with everything we needed and more. The unit is in a small apartment building, located in a tidy family neighborhood. Although North Avenue is shabby, we found it had friendly businesses where we could eat and get groceries. The check-in process was a little bumpy, as we did not receive an email with our unit number or passcode before arriving. The manager got back to us fairly quickly, though. There is handy parking behind the building, which is accessed through a gate. Again, we didn’t receive explicit instructions on this, but managed to figure it out. For anyone not familiar with an all-in-one washer/dryer, be forewarned that the dry cycle takes many hours! Overall, we found the apartment to be convenient to our activities all over the area, and a lovey oasis at the end of the day.

Our goal is simple: easy arrival, hotel-clean preparation, and spaces that feel calm and functional from the moment you walk in. Guests can expect fast communication, clear instructions, and a stay designed to run smoothly without surprises.

Why they chose this property

The Karlov was chosen for its classic Chicago brick character, solid construction, and naturally quiet residential setting while still keeping fast access to the city. Unlike many short-term rentals designed only for photos, this space was set up intentionally for real usability — comfortable sleep layouts, functional kitchen setup, and an easy internal flow that makes sense immediately on arrival. The result is a stay that feels calm, dependable, and professionally prepared rather than improvised.

What makes this property unique

✔ Entire private apartment — no shared spaces
✔ Professionally cleaned and prepared between every stay
✔ Bedrooms intentionally kept uncluttered for better sleep
✔ Kitchen equipped for real cooking, not display use
✔ Straightforward arrival with clear entry instructions
✔ Reliable layout ideal for couples, families, work trips, or longer Chicago stays
