What is remarkable is that the hosts have thought of everything: Access is easy. The room I had (Studio One) is well laid out, with a handy kitchen. And the bathroom is also very well laid out. Add the comfortable duvet (needed when I was there in January), the comfortable chairs, and the well placed windows. And the savvy hosts even have added baffles at the bottom of the door to keep the heat in. Finally: Location, location, location.

Loved this adorable carriage house!

The neighborhood was bustling and hip, the hosts considerate and caring, and the studio was thoughtfullly outfitted to make our 4 night stay carefree. The el station is just a few blocks away, conveniently whisking us in to Chicago and up to Evanston. It would be easy to stay longer, and we look forward to future visits!

Kate is a welcoming person who has created a very comfortable refuge for travelers. Nicely appointed furnishings, great shower, plus full kitchenette, good bed and bedding--everything you are likely to need. I love the courtyard and plantings. Parking on street and in lot on the weekends was easy--just as promised. We were happy here and hope to return before long..

Edgewater/Andersonville/Rogers Pk/Uptown Delight!

Terrific studio apartment in super convenient location! Clean, quiet, spacious, nicely appointed & private. Single-digit weather was no hindrance here.Communication with Kate was quite good; no need to see hosts face-to-face, but we're sure it would have been a pleasure to meet.VRBO reserv'n system changes between booking and our stay appear to have caused a glitch, as (1) we had difficulty finding reservation via the App, (2) credit card charges and subsequent reservation adjustment credit showed host name and not VRBO, and (3) customer service via phone did not provide satisfactory result.FORTUNATELY, Magnolia Studios' website provided the needed contact info so that, ultimately, all worked out great!Thanks very much. We hope to stay again soon, so long as we have family in the lovely neighborhood!

This is the cutest place ever. Walking into the back garden to get to the coach house was so unexpected--you go from a nice city neighborhood into a little fairy garden, then into a very sweet studio, equipped with everything we needed.

GUS Dance school visit

Outstanding studio near GUS dance studio in Andersonville. The walk to GUS is a mile through a nice neighborhood. The studio is on a property with great owners. They have a beautiful garden. The studio is very close to the redline with access to anywhere in Chicago. The lake shore is also very close. We would definitely stay here again when we go to Chicago again. Great place and great location. Lots of nice touches: water bottles, coffee maker.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Wainwright

Host profile image
Originally from the south coast of England, I moved to Chicago in 1998 with my husband Ashley. We loved the City on arrival, and partifcularly liked Andersonville/ Edgewater where we bought and renovated an old colonial house in 2002. The neighborhood is fun, convenient and friendly, and we now feel very much at home within a warm and eclectic circle of friends. After many years of global travelling for large corporates, I had baby Teddy in 2007 and decided to stop checking myself in and sit on the other side of the fence. Numerous hotel stays have made me realise that travelling is both fun and tiring, and so Magnolia Studios excels at providing essential comforts. We aim to send you home feeling relaxed and refreshed after sleeping in super comfortable beds, and after being in a vintage building that is private, relaxing and completely renovated. We're on hand to help with any aspect of your stay, or if you know your way around, we just let you enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We loved the house at first sight, but what really made it for us was the original Chicago Coach House that was part of it. Our architect, somewhat of a Chicago historian told us how few of these are left in Chicago. These are now the studio apartments.

What makes this property unique

All the benefits that a major city offers, without the high costs and stress that usually accompany a city stay. Accommodation is tucked away in a 'gingerbread house' in a leafy garden. Once out and about, there is easy access to the main city center, to neighborhood restaurants and to local shops.
