If you’re coming to Chicago and want space, comfort, and a location that truly works—you’ve found it.
This is not a typical rental. It’s a thoughtfully designed, art filled apartment where everything is set up for groups to gather, spread out, and enjoy time together—without sacrificing comfort.
Everything You Need, All in One Place ✅A fully stocked chef’s kitchen for cooking, catering, or casual meals at home ✅An extra-large dining table—perfect for shared dinners, brunches, or simply spending time together ✅Spacious open-plan living that lets your group spread out while still staying connected ✅Superfast WiFi & cable TV for downtime when you need it ✅Elevator access + single-level layout—no stairs to navigate A boutique, owner-operated property—a refreshing alternative to large, impersonal hotels
As on-site owners (we have our own apartment 😉), we take your experience personally. From cleanliness to comfort to communication, every detail matters.
Who This Space Is Perfect For
Our loft is especially loved by:
⭐Families traveling together ⭐Groups of friends ⭐Bachelor & bachelorette groups looking for a beautiful, comfortable place to gather
❤️ If your vision includes sitting around the table sharing meals, relaxing together, and enjoying Chicago at your own pace—you’ll feel right at home here. If your plans are centered entirely around excessive heavy drinking & late-night partying, this may not be the right fit. We’re a residential, family-friendly building and prioritize a respectful, comfortable environment for all.
A Location That Makes Chicago Easy
Located at the crossroads of Lincoln Park, Old Town, and River North, you’re perfectly positioned to explore the city—without being in the middle of the noise.
⭐Minutes to the Mag Mile, Fulton Market, Wicker Park, and Wrigleyville ⭐Easy access to CTA trains (Red & Brown Lines) and multiple bus lines ⭐Quick, direct routes to downtown, museums, and major attractions
This is one of those rare locations where you can experience Chicago like a local—while still being close to everything.

It’s vibrant, walkable, and full of personality—without the congestion of downtown high-rises.
A Smooth, Personalized Experience
Because we are a boutique, owner-operated property (not a hotel), we coordinate your stay a bit differently:
➡️Communication is handled through a private WhatsApp group ➡️This allows for real-time updates, easy coordination, and quick responses ➡️We’ll guide you through arrival and be contactable throughout your stay
Our goal is simple: make everything feel easy from the moment you arrive.

The Loft was a perfect spot for our family weekend in Chicago. Easy to get to everything. Plenty of space. The owners are in the building and very helpful if needed (but also respectful of your space as well). Would absolutely stay here again.
A beautiful, spacious place in a quiet, safe neighborhood, close to the CTA, restaurants and shops. It’s so difficult to find a rental in Chicago with enough beds but this is the perfect place to come together with family and friends. The hosts are incredibly responsive and helpful before and throughout the stay. I highly recommend Magic Factory Lofts to anyone coming to visit the city with a large group.

Enjoyed our staying at this place , the host is very friendly and responsive. Area is easy to access from local communities,
Property was fantastic. Plenty of room for our group of 10. Perfect location if u r going to catch the Cubs or going downtown. Anything u might need is a short walk.
Perfect place for our large group stay. Great proximity to whatever you want to do in Chicago, while giving you the peace and quiet of a local neighborhood. Hosts made every step of the way super easy. They were thoughtful and communicative. I could not recommend this place enough.
Our high school sailing team stayed here during a regatta. It was perfect - good space, well appointed kitchen, and enough beds and rooms for all. We will definitely stay here again next time we travel to Chicago. LOVED the app that answered ALL our questions while we were there, made things very seamless. Thank you!
Our group thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay. The space was large, well maintained, and provided a great base to visit Chicago for a long weekend.
The hosts were excellent with all communications, provided a friendly experience at check-in, and made our stay memorable. Book it and you will enjoy!
The accommodations was were perfect for my family, plenty of space. The location is absolutely fantastic. The property was very clean and the owner was very attentative and responsive. We hope to return soon.
We had a great time at Carole and Basils place. They were extremely helpful in making sure we had the best time possible. They supplied us with multiple food spots as well as must see attractions. We will stay here again when visiting the windy city!
Better than description, the property was bigger, more space than expected. Fully stocked, beautifully furnished and finished, everything you'll need. Hosts were great to connect with. Highly recommend.
This is a wonderful property that was a prefect setting for a friends' get away. It is wonderfully located near downtown in the Lincoln Park area and was close to restaurants and stores. Carole, Basil and Adrian made check in and check out easy and were always just a call away. The space was so inviting we stayed in for dinner on 2 nights and cooked. It was a great trip for us in a memorable setting.
We loved the area and the condo was clean, modern and spacious. We had some noise from upstairs condo, but the owners addressed our concerns. This condo has restaurants, bars and shopping all in walking distance.
We stayed here for lollapalooza and we’re pleased with the Vrbo. The location is fantastic and the management team was nice. My group was a bit loud the last night but the management team handled it quite well in being respectful of both my group and the others who complained. I’d recommend this place
Everything was as advertised. Carole was a great host and really went out of her way to make us feel welcome and make sure we had a great time. The apartment was spacious and on a nice side street. We would definitely book again.

Thanks for your review, Neil.
Basil and I look forward to welcoming you back to Chicago soon! (or helping you with a trip to Greece!)
We are a group of friends in town for a wedding. Carole and Basil’s home was the perfect setting for us to gather and have some fun in the city. The home is comfortable, beautifully decorated and well appointed. Communication was proactive and clear and made for an easy weekend. Thank you for all of your help - we would love to come back soon!
My four siblings and their families transcended on Chicago - 12 total - to attend a multi-memorial event. This was a PERFECT place - comfort, size and location - to have the entire family under one roof. Even though we came together for solemn event, the accommodations made it a memorable and joyous occasion as we were able to gather together to remember our aunts and uncle who are now no longer with us
We loved how walkable the area was and how secure our loft felt. TONS of beds and extras with the trundles underneath. Pictures don’t do the space justice, honestly. Perfect for a low-key bachelorette party (a group of 14). Basil is kind and a quick communicator.
We had an amazing stay here! We were 14 guys in our mid-50's in town for a long-weekend capped off by a Bears game. Everyone got their own bed, loved being in the space together, and found the location to be ideal, with tons of restaurants, bars, and shopping nearby. Jogging down to the lake and back - about a 3.0 mile loop was a favorite among the group. No regrets - would love to come back and do it all again. Carole was a delight to deal with.
Spent the weekend in Chicago to attend a Cubs game and sight see. the property is in a great location with a large meeting area perfect for my group of 10.
Hosts we're attentive and responded quickly if needed. property is clean, in a secured building with we felt was a plus. We would definitely book again in the future and highly recommend this spot if you have a large group.
The Magic Factory loft was a great space for our family to gather for our long weekend together exploring Chicago. The open floor plan allowed the 10 of us to enjoy our brief time together. It had everything you could need and it had a beautiful view of the city. The owners were very helpful and helped us feel at home and very safe. The appliances were good quality, the beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of bathrooms. The space was perfect for us to stage our adventures out into the city, close to everything, but on a nice quiet street.
