College Graduation
We had family come in from out of town and we had another rental but we needed more room. I was able to find this unit which was within walking distance to our other rental. Conveniently located to the Red line, shopping and nightlife. We walked into downtown Andersonville on both Clark and Broadway. We walked to Jewel/OSCO for groceries. We walked to several bars on Broadway at night and felt safe. We took the Red line to Loyola University, downtown to the River Walk North, Mag Mile, and Millennium Park. Rather than call an Uber/Lyft, to get to MDW, we took the Red line to the Roosevelt stop and transferred to the Orange line which went to MDW, about 45 minute ride. Would definitely stay again if we make it back to Chicago. Thank you!

Great Friendcation Spot
Me and my best friend rented this for a long weekend away. So close to all Andersonville’s best. Clean, comfortable bed and couch, easy to walk to almost anything. The hosts give clear check in / check out instructions as well as all the other rules of the property. Parking spot is tight so just don’t bring a huge car if you are able.

Show at the Riviera
Very well lit street in a safe neighborhood. Lots of amazing asian restaurants and everything is within walking distance. Parking was a bit tight and would be easily fixed if some vegetation were trimmed. Short drive to Michigan Ave. We'd certainly stay here again.

Struggling with amenities!
It was a great location, but none of the amenities worked (dishwasher, washing machine). Even when we contacted the host, they were unhelpful. Uncomfortable bed and choice.

Five day Chicago stay
I brought my grandson to go to a Cubs game Navy pier downtown all the typical tourist things. We found this apartment to be very comfortable. It had a lot of extra food condiments to use even though I didn’t cook. I appreciated everything that they had for our comfort. Alex was very communicative. He even suggested local eateries we might enjoy and told us how to get to the Cubs game and where the train stop was.Had a wonderful time.

Not clean
The bathroom was not clean. Had to have the cleaning staff come back 2 days in a row as the first time they came absolutely nothing was touched. Also the bath towels were not adequate size and were extremely worn out as were all the towels in the bathroom. The other aspects of the apartment were okay and the location was close to the town of Andersonville. It was quite a distance from the train (not just a few short blocks as advertised).

Perfect Andersonville Stay and Great Communication
My stay was wonderful, enhanced by great communication and thoughtfulness demonstrated by the owners. The unit is attractive, clean, and well-appointed, with a very comfortable bed. The washer and dryer made packing light for a longer trip much easier. Consider this listing a top choice if you're looking to enjoy all of the amenities of Andersonville in a comfortable home away from home.

This apartment was the perfect place to stay for our first trip to Chicago. Everything was clean, the area had lots to do and the train was a short walk away. Communication was easy and instructions for check-in and check-out were easy to follow.

Location was perfect!
This location was ideal for being able to walk to our event down the street which was the reason for our stay in Chicago. The unit was exactly as described. Although a parking spot was provided, we actually didn’t have a car and were able to walk to get groceries, eat at restaurants and do a little shopping. I had just a couple of issues upon check-in but my email was responded to within minutes and the items were addressed within hours. I would have given a 5 star rating if everything had been perfect upon check-in but I appreciate the speed with which things were taken care of!

Andersonville is wonderful!
We were very happy we chose Andersonville for our home while we explored Chicago. We did so many great things: hiked the 606, art museums, the beach, BAR ROMA!!, kayaking, the river walk, etc. This was a lovely neighborhood and great food nearby. The accommodations were very nice. The sleeper sofa, however wasn't as great as prior reviews stated. Could use an updated mattress and it sagged quite a bit. All in all, we were so happy we stayed in Andersonville.
