Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the clean space and the neighborhood. We understand that a few family members found it a bit warm—there was a heat wave during your stay, and while the temperature settings are limited (as noted in the listing), guests are always welcome to reach out to us if they need adjustments. We're happy to help make things more comfortable whenever possible. Thanks again for staying with us!

This place is great!

We can’t say enough good about this property. The location near Loyola, Lake Michigan, and the L Red Line was perfect for our family of 6 (spanning 3 generations). The property is spacious, well appointed, extremely clean, and very comfortable. Parking was a huge plus. Nikki and Ben are terrific hosts - very responsive. Book now - you’ll be thrilled with your stay.

This was a great stay! Not only was the home beautiful and relaxing but the location was perfect. If you are planning on doing anything downtown it is only a few minute walk away from the Red Line that will take you just about anywhere you want to go. The owners were great and communicated so quickly on any questions I had. 5 Stars across the board!

Very well appointed apartment with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths which we needed for our group of 6 plus one toddler. The unit was very clean and kitchen was equipped with appliances and utensils. Super convenient to train and bus. Nikki responded promptly to our questions, including the need for a backup dryer when the one in our unit wasn’t heating up. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

An excellent place to stay

We (three adults, two children) had a great stay. It's a clean, modern, well-resourced apartment, and Nikki and Ben were great at replying to questions and queries. The apartment, bedrooms, beds, and sofas are all very comfortable, and the bathrooms are great. Really good kitchen and cooking facilities too - saved us a fortune being able to eat in. The neighbourhood is perfect - cafes, restaurants, shops, transport links all within a few minutes' walk - and the street itself is leafy and quiet. Perfect! Can recommend it completely - would definitely stay again if in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Nikki

Host profile image
6447 is proudly owned and run by Nikki and her husband, who first crossed paths in 2015 at Big Joe's Turtle Racing in Andersonville. In 2020, they purchased the property in Lakewood and have spent the past five years lovingly transforming the two-flat, renovating it one floor at a time to make it their home. Outside of home projects, Nikki works full-time and loves to travel with her growing family, dive into Chicago’s vibrant food scene, and stay active by biking and shooting hoops.

Why they chose this property

Rogers Park is one of Chicago’s most diverse neighborhoods, with more than 60 different languages spoken. As you might expect, the neighborhood’s dining options are just as diverse. Take a culinary journey around the world at Caribbean American Bakery, Redz Belizean Restaurant, Asahi Roll Sushi, Rocky’s Tacos, Tostini Turkish Street Food, and beyond.

If you want a taste of Chicago’s artsy side, Rogers Park is the perfect place to be. Check out the Glenwood Avenue Arts District, an inviting urban stretch with cobblestone streets, sprawling murals, art studios and galleries, an award-winning theatre, and entertainment venues hosting magic shows, cabaret, world music and more.

The area is also home to the pedestrian-friendly Glenwood Alfresco. Each summer, the Glenwood Sunday Market brings an array of local vendors, and the Glenwood Avenue Arts Fest (held the third weekend in August) features handmade art, live music, and studio tours.

What makes this property unique

Originally built in 1914, 6447 Lakewood blends vintage charm with modern comfort. The unit features central A/C and heat, an in-unit washer and dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen. Guests can also enjoy a shared outdoor space with a privacy fence, perfect for use year-round. Parking in the city can be tricky—but not here. You'll have access to a private parking spot in the alley.

Restaurants, grocery stores, and entertainment options are all within walking distance. We're just a five-minute walk from the Loyola Red Line, four minutes from a Divvy bike station, and only two minutes from the 147 express bus. Located on a quiet residential street, 6447 Lakewood also offers free street parking on weekends.
