LaTrina is an excellent host. Everything was straightforward and communication was quick and easy. I really appreciated how cozy and at home I felt during my stay. 10/10 would recommend her in a heartbeat.
We stayed in this property while moving our son into the University of Chicago. It is conveniently located very near campus so it was easy to get back-and-forth. The owners were very easy to work with, and we enjoyed our stay
We had the best time at this little "home away from home." There was more than enough space for my friend and me, and it was a beautiful set-up! The hosts are wonderful as well. I highly recommend this VRBO!
The description was spot on. We had a great 2 night stay. The host was super kind and met us when we arrived and gave us a tour. The place was immaculate! They had a Keurig with coffee pods which was so nice. My bed was extremly comfortable. Wonderful stay and would definitely stay again!
Great stay at wonderful home. The owner created a warm and friendly environment and had everything set up to ensure a wonderful trip. The space is ideal and is located near restaurants and by Lake Shore. Would definitely stay here again!

It’s a very spacious and relatively quiet place to stay at. In a neighborhood in the other side of town. The TV apps are reliable for a quiet stay after a long day out and the spacing is solid for a good group of people.
The issues I found were, be careful with leaving your accounts on certain apps (noticed this with Netflix and YouTube). Kitchenette is decent for small trips but not long ones to stock it. Noticed the TV controllers had dead batteries as well as each TV other than the main one not having a working firestick. The Queen Bed was comfortable along with the couch but the king bed was a bit rickety loose. The service in general though was solid and gracious at the very least.
And location can be a bit sparse. Which could be a dealbreaker for future visitors looking to get things conveniently.
A good place to stay away from the busy city center, and hopefully those issues can be corrected for the next visitors.
Very clean place with some very comfortable beds. We felt right at home and it met all of our needs. In town for a convention and wanted to be away from the hotels of downtown Chicago.
Clean stay and had everything we needed. Enjoyed our morning walks to the Green Line at 43rd to enjoy the city…even got to walk past Louis Armstrong’s historic home when he lived in Chicago. Wonderful breakfast at Peach’s just a few blocks away. Would highly recommend!

Cozy private and convenient
This place was perfect for my recent stay in Chicago. It's clean quiet and secure with a private entrance for guests. Latrina and Valane are great hosts. Will happily book again any future trips to Chicago.

Jason was a great guest! He left the unit as he found it and was also able to follow the entry instructions and let himself in perfectly (which was a plus). It was a pleasure having him as a guest. We would definitely welcome him back to our home!
Rented with Valane for the marathon weekend. It was clean, quiet, away from the hustle of the city. It was super easy to navigate to expo, start lines, and sites. Loved jot beong couped up in a hotel room for the weekend
Highly recommend
Thank you so much for the great stay

Our host was so kind and very reasonable! The listing makes it sound quite strict, but I will say if you are a traveler who respects the spaces you stay in they are not strict at all! Basic human decency is all they ask so if you can't do that maybe not the place for you, but if you can do that this is a fabulous place to stay! The space is so big and such a great price in such a great area. The hosts are there if you need anything at all and even gave a lot of local recommendations which was so nice! We were there on a work trip and so it was nice to not have to do a ton of research to figure out where we should go for meals and what not. The train is so close by and none of the ubers we paid for to get downtown were very expensive which is so nice. The beds were very comfortable and the space was just delightful. Thank you for letting us stay! :)
