For those groups where everyone wants their own bed, this place is ideal for up to 12 guests)
Four full bathrooms each have a walk in glass enclosed shower, a meticulously stocked chef's kitchen with all of the accouterments that go with such a kitchen, a dining table that truly seats the same number of guests the apartment sleeps - this is THE home away from home you want for your stay in Chicago.
Bachelor & Bachelorette groups love our space - but note that as live in owner's we're pretty particular about welcoming only the best behaved, so if your group is looking for a beautiful, comfortable space, and especially if you imagine sitting together around the dining table over a dinner or brunch together (we can even suggest local caterers) - we are THE vacation rental for you! **If you're a group that's coming ONLY to bar hop and party all night - we might not be the space for you.... (we're a family friendly building and aren't keen on lots of drunken guests stumbling in at 3 AM ;-( **
Please note the frontline rate shown on some listing sites is for our minimum number of guests and may not include EXTRA guest fees or taxes or the housekeeping fee. Your final quote will include those totals.
If you're heading to Chicago and looking to be near downtown but want a more neighborhood experience with friendly, knowledgeable transcontinental hosts, our amazing, bright and sunny 1800 square foot loft just might be the perfect fit for you.
We are always there for you! Communication prior to arrival, at check-in, and through check-out is handled through a private WhatsApp chat group that we set up for your stay. Because we do not have a front desk and coordinate arrivals in real time, participation in this group by at least one arriving guest is required so we can ensure you are met promptly and not left waiting if plans change. For larger non-family groups, we may ask that multiple guests be included—this helps avoid delays and allows our team to respond quickly throughout your stay. This ensures a smooth arrival and a great experience for everyone.
Please note that the person making the reservation must be part of the traveling group and present at check-in. Third-party bookings are not permitted without prior approval. The primary guest staying at the property is required to sign our rental agreement and provide a government-issued photo ID prior to arrival. As we do not have a front desk, direct real-time communication with at least one arriving guest is required on the day of arrival to coordinate check-in. We typically use WhatsApp for this, as it allows our team to respond quickly if arrival times change.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a wonderful long weekend in Chicago at the Magic Factory Lofts! We were we welcomed and shown everything we would need at the Loft and in the surrounding area. Our hosts were extremely responsive and the accommodations were comfortable and clean! We loved not having to strip the beds. :)
The Loft is well laid out for large groups, especially when everyone needs their own bed. Check-in and check-out is easy, and the hosts are communicative / flexible with early/late check-in/out. If any issues arise, they're prompt communicators.

Alex - We're so glad you enjoyed our Three East loft and we're hopeful you'll return!
Our group got together to celebrate for a bachelorette party and we had a great time at the Magic Factory. It was exactly what we needed for the weekend with plenty of room for a large group.

Absolutely beautiful in a terrific location
Our large family has stayed in many different places in Chicago over Thanksgiving and no place comes close to Carole's apartment in terms of its beauty, location, and amenities. We hope to come back every year!

Thanks Kathleen, for sharing your experience in our Magic Factory Loft. It was nice to meet you and your family and we look forward to our home becoming a part of your family's holiday tradition!
The location was perfect and had a great view of the city skyline. Carole and the rest of Magic lofts were great in accommodating us and helping with an easy check in / check out process.
Carole went above and beyond during check-in to make sure we understood everything. The location was ideal and the space is great to entertain groups of 10-14 in size. I would highly recommend staying at the magic factory.
Staying with Carole and basil was incredible! They were very communicative the entire stay and the property was better than expected! We’ll definitely be back!
My friends and I were here for a bachelor party. All the previous reviews are on point, this place is awesome. Great amount of space, plenty of room to sleep 10+ people, conveniently located, secure building - it was exactly what we needed. The team operating the rental is very responsive as well. I would stay here again!
The experience we had was top notch. It was clean, had everything you need to cook your meals, plenty of space for lots of people and having 4 bathrooms was really nice. They were helpful and provided lots of information about the area. Would most certainly stay there again.
A group of 9 HS buddies converged in Chicago from all over the country, explored Chicago from this base camp! Perfect, everybody had their own bed with a wonderful great room to gather both morning and night while planning the days activities! Central location to walk to many places was key. Great hosts!
Hosts were extremely accommodating, went above and and beyond to meet our requests. We were allowed to store our luggage before check-in and after check-out. Property was spotless and the location was great for exploring Chicago. Rare combination of providing plenty of space for the entire family to spend time together and providing private bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved our stay.
We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect and the condo was great for 14 ladies. It was clean, beds were comfortable, and anything you could think of, they had there for us. Would recommend to others and will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Chicago! Thank you Carole and basil for being such great hosts!

Thanks for your review Emily -
Basil and I were happy that we could help make your Chicago stay a great one. Looking forward to seeing you again sometime - either in our Chicago Magic Factory Lofts or on one of our realgreece trips!
This property was perfect for our stay. Two families (9 adults & 2 children) with room to spare. Walking distance to neighborhood shopping, restaurants and the market. Proximity to train station or a quick Uber made getting downtown easy. Carole was a great communicator from booking, providing a local guide book, suggestions on where to eat and walking me through the check-in process. Everyone in out group had an all around great experience with our stay.
A couple of things made this the ideal place for our group of 11.
The apartment itself was very clean and easy to access. Close to a good coffee shop and Whole Foods, among other places. Bus stops and train stations were close. We shared rooms, but no one had to share a bed. Plus the apartment has a good view of the skyline!
I would definitely book again!
Great place for two families.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom.
Very clean supplied with everything needed.
The additional charge for more than 4 people was strange because it sleeps so many

About the host
Hosted by Carole Heiman-Kezios
Basil and I are full time travel professionals, we offer our Chicago properties here but we also run a custom travel planning agency, RealGreece Travel, so we know what quite a bit about hospitality (as mixed culture couple (Basil, born and bred in Athens, Carole, born & bred in Chicago) we understand that quirks in Greece and know how to help our guests get the most out of their Greece experience. For those who choose our Magic Factory Lofts by Chicago Vacation Rentals, you are staying in an intentional holiday home. You won't find anyone's clothes in the drawers but you will find lots of things provided with travelers in mind (some of which are secrets we choose not to share here since that's what makes us special :-)
Why they chose this property
Our funky warehouse & former tavern turned costume factory turned fabulous Lincoln Park home can be your home away from home in Chicago.
Located in Chicago's hottest neighborhood at the crossroads of Lincoln Park - Old Town & River North - we are just two blocks south of Chicago’s “little Michigan Avenue” and on the Halsted Street busline, the North Avenue & Division street buses as well as the North/Clybourn Red Line and the Sedgwick Brown Line.
We're just north of hot Fulton Market & Randolph Street, just south of DePaul, Boystown & Wrigleyville, just east of Wicker Park and straddling Lincoln Park and Old Town.
In short, there is nowhere you can't get to in pretty much a straight shot.
What makes this property unique
This is a private rental. You aren't sharing the space with anyone else. You won't find our clothes in the drawers. If you're looking for a spacious Chicago accommodation with NO stairs or steps, you've found the right place! Our Magic Factory Lofts are each on one level, with access via elevator.
We are always there for you!! Communication prior to arrival and though check-out will be via a private WhApp chat group that we setup for your group. For larger non-family groups, we request everyone be added to it - this avoids issues with arrival, check-in and offers you immediate responses from our team during your stay. This ensures a great stay!
