We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home! The location couldn’t have been better—perfectly situated for enjoying everything Chicago has to offer. The house itself was incredibly comfortable, full of charm, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need. It truly felt like a home away from home. We had such a fun and relaxing weekend and would definitely stay here again!Great communication and great host
The place was beautiful and very clean. We were close to great restaurants, bars coffee shops and shopping and we only had a little over a mile to walk to Wrigley Field. The hosts were amazing - I had excellent communication with them when I had questions ahead of the stay and they checked in on me during and after to assure we had a good stay. The beds were comfortable, they provided everything we needed and more! Special and very nice touches were coffee pods provided and beautiful dishes - perfect for a girls weekend! I highly recommend this property and we will be back!

Hi Melinda,
Thank you for your wonderful review. I am glad you enjoyed the special touches in the apartment. We appreciate your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime.
What a charming, clean, warm and friendly place to stay. Centrally located relative to grocery stores/coffee shops, etc. All within easy walking distance. We especially appreciated the responsiveness of the host to questions we had throughout our stay and even made suggestions for a coffee at their favorite shop around the corner (which we tried and loved too). We felt at home and very cozy during our stay. In addition, the kitchen was well stocked with utensils. Thoughtfully well-equipped. We were pleasantly surpised it had a crockpot which we utilized upon our arrival. The home is tastefully decorated. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this property to our friends and family members.

About the host
Hosted by Tara Jenkins
I have a deep connection to this home—I actually grew up here! My family has cherished and enjoyed this house for over 40 years, creating a lifetime of memories. Today, my brother Tim lives on-site, and I serve as the co-host to ensure our guests have a wonderful stay. We love sharing this special piece of our family history with travelers who appreciate a home with character and heart
Why they chose this property
North Center and the St. Ben’s enclave have been 'home' to us for decades. We chose to stay here because it offers the perfect Chicago balance: it’s a quiet, safe, and tree-lined residential pocket, yet you’re just a short stroll from the vibrant energy of Lincoln Square and the easy transit of the Brown Line. It’s the kind of neighborhood where neighbors know each other, and everything you need is within walking distance.
What makes this property unique
What sets this home apart is its intentional blend of vintage Chicago charm and modern accessibility. Having been in our family for 40+ years, the home has been thoughtfully updated—including a rare single-level layout, a mobility-friendly walk-in shower, and ultra-fast 1Gbps Wi-Fi. It’s a spacious 'Seeley Dollhouse' that offers the comfort of a real family home with the premium amenities of a luxury rental.
