Host was very quick in responding Apartment was clean and cool. The location worked out great just outside of Chicago making it convenient for us. Street parking was easy. Shops and restaurants nearby.
Garden level apt was clean and looks exactly like the photos. Comfy bed and easy street parking. Host responded quickly. Apt was close to downtown. Exactly what we needed for a quick weekend trip.
Wonderful stay! Host was extremely responsive, when the internet went down she got it fixed in record time despite being at work!!! Best bed I have ever slept on in a rental. Loved Loved Loved it. Close to everything we needed.
Amazing. Check in was smooth. The location was perfect. Location was perfect for a pup owner. There is lots of green space. The neighbors are very friendly. When I had a question, there was a quick and very pleasant response. Very comfortable for a long term stay. Highly recommend.
Very cozy and clean with convenient Lyft & Uber services during our stay. Perfect location if you’re in Chicago for events along the Lake Shore. Very pet friendly! Our pets are crate trained so plenty of room to accommodate even though it’s one bedroom. Lots of grass area for walks right outside Toca Bella. DoorDash options in the neighborhood are extremely fast and delicious, and parking was a breeze! Check in/out was almost too easy-very helpful. We would definitely stay again, and hope other people enjoy this gem as much as we did!

The place is nice and clean. Public transportation is very close by so you can hop on CTA and visit McCormick Place and Downtown with ease. We loved the neighborhood and the architecture too. My wife says that it probably beats Baltimore’s.
Everything was great! Very clean & easy to communicate with!

The property was very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The host was attentive and responded right away to any questions or concerns. It was a nice quiet street with plenty of street parking. Overall a great experience!
Good location - close to the lake with a great walking path (awesome for pets), a grocery store with Starbucks, and 15 min from downtown…plenty of parking spaces.
Such a cute and homey place!! Me and my partner absolutely adored staying here. Area is nice and about a 10-15 minute walk from the green line which takes us right into the city. The host was super communicative and direct with instructions which was much appreciated. The environment was so cozy and welcoming. Definitely recommend.
My girlfriend and I loved this home, it was exactly like the pictures plus more in person. This lovely home made us feel at home. The host is very attentive and understanding. This was my first home I booked on Vrbo and I would love to book this stay everytime I need a vacation.This home is remarkable and made us feel at home. Thank you to the host again allowing us to enjoy our vacation in this sophisticated, comfortable home. I love it.
Incredible owners and communication made the entire process very, very easy and stress free. The unit feels brand new inside and (absent a hair dryer) has every possible amenity you could ever need. The neighborhood was way more comfortable than i expected having never been to the South side of Chicago before. The only possible criticism is the layout of the bed and the need for one person to crawl over the other in order to get out. In general, I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again and will be sure to look at this property availability first when planning my next visit.
