About The Neighborhood:
East Lakeview is a safe, vibrant neighborhood and our condo is steps from everything. Though it's bustling with activity, we're on a nice leafy street so you'll still get a great night's sleep. With a 97 walk score it's a walkers paradise!
Here are a few of the things we love about Lakeview:
- Great restaurants and bars abound (we love Bar Pastoral, Ceres Table, Dryhop Brewing, Stan's Donuts and Uncommon Ground), all within an easy walk.
- Great coffee shops (boutique gems like Intelligentsia, solid nationals like Peets and Starbucks) are just around the corner.
- Wrigley Field and the Wrigleyville bars and restaurants, about a 15 minute walk away
- All the glitz and excitement of the Boystown neighborhood is a 5-8 minute walk away
- A full-service Mariano's grocery store is just around the corner, and Whole Foods is a 5 minute drive away. Great neighborhood amenities like Trader Joe's, Walgreens, CVS, dry cleaners, salons, etc are all within a block or so. Plus we are a few blocks from the small but cute Nettelhorst Farmers Market (open Saturday mornings through October)!
- The lakefront and Lincoln Park are a 5 minute walk away. Great for hitting the beach, running and biking, or just enjoying the greenery and the sunshine!
How to Get Around:
- Ubers and taxis are plentiful at all hours.
- The major bus lines (22 Clark, 8 Halsted, 36 Broadway, 151 Sheridan, etc) are all within one to three blocks of our condo and can take you anywhere in the city!
- The Brown and Purple line Wellington El stop is just a 5-8 minute walk.
- The Red, Brown and Purple line Belmont El stop is also about a 5-8 minute walk away.
-Divvy bike-sharing station at the end of our block.
- The Loop downtown area is about a 15-20 minute drive down Lake Shore Drive and the McCormick Place convention center is just a 20-25 minute drive down Lake Shore Drive (depending on the time of day).
- We do have a garage parking space, though please keep in mind that it is "city sized" and will fit cars very well though not larger SUVs. We also have overnight street parking permits for our guests!
Check-In & Guest Interaction:
We will meet you at our place for check-in and a quick tour. We live and work close by, and are available to help with anything you may need! Just call or text!

The owners added several personal touches to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The condo was clean and well stocked and communication was phenomenal to ensure we had everything we needed. Our family of 4 loved being in this amazing neighborhood on a quiet street but close to Chicago attractions. Highly recommend!

A positive setting in every way. The condo was beautiful, well appointed, and clean. The description and pictures online were accurate. The unit was better stocked for guests than any other we’ve been in.. Public transportation was easily accessible and got us anywhere in the city we wanted to go. All in all, a great setting and value.

Location couldn't be better for us - a block away from my son's apartment and close to everything.
Felt like I was home - very comfortable and inviting. When it was cold outside the apartment was warm and cozy inside.
The kitchen is fully stocked for a novice or experienced cook. Gave us the opportunity to enjoy the most delicious New Year's Eve dinner cooked by my son.
Brought in the New Year with a few laughs at a comedy club only a few short blocks away.
This was my first venture into a VRBO and I am so glad I picked this unit. Many thanks to Jeff and Lisa.

We had a great stay at this condo. It is comfortable and well stocked for cooking. The owner, Jeff, was available for any questions that we had. It is conveniently located close the train and some of our favorite restaurants and coffeehouses. We'll be back!

The condo is a lovely home (best stocked kitchen we have ever found in a vacation rental!) in an ideal location - easy to walk places, safe and quiet neighborhood, etc. Communication with the host was above and beyond - he even helped us sort out parking a moving van! All to say, we will definitely stay here again and greatly appreciated our time there!

Perfect
We had stayed at another VRBO in the Lakeview East neighborhood many times before. The owner sold and the new owner did not carry on the business. We had to find a new home away from home. We found it.
We love the area due to its proximity to so many things Chicago has to offer. Much is within walking distance. Transportation to anywhere in Chicago is very easy from Jeff and Lisa's condo.
Most importantly, their condo is spacious, clean, extremely well equipped, and very comfortable.
Although we only had one very minor question, that I should have figured out myself, Jeff and Lisa were very quick to respond. Jeff was diplomatic too. He could have said, "Hey knucklehead, you have to aim the remote at the device." He was much nicer.
We'll be back!!

We are an almost-annual regular at this VRBO and wouldn't look to stay anywhere but here when visiting Chi-town. I call it our Chicago home away from home. My prior posts say it all and just simply love and am impressed with the vibe and amenities!

I have stayed in many HomeAway properties in US and Europe and this was the best. It was equipped with everything you could possible want and then some. It was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Jeff was a perfect host. It is a great place to stay in a great neighborhood.

This place is perfect
We lived in Chicago for 20 years, so we should know. Place is perfect for 3 reasons. First, the condo is beautifully designed and decorated, and well provisioned and maintained. Second, the location is the ideal neighborhood...plenty of shops, restaurants and bus/train transportation within a short walk, with Wrigley Field, the park and the lake just up the street. Third, your hosts are hospitable, attentive to questions and needs, and just very nice people. If this place is available for when you want it...grab it.

Perfect!
We loved this condo! It was beautiful inside and had everything that we needed. It was located within easy walking distance of a fantastic market and little restaurants on a quiet tree lined street. It was easy to get into downtown but we also enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Chicago.
The owner was very responsive and checked in often to see if we needed anything. There were even fresh flowers awaiting us when we arrived. We felt welcomed right from the beginning.

Amazing stay in Chicago
Stayed 4 nights with my family including 2 teenage girls.
This property easily exceeded expectations and my family is picky. The owners have great taste and have truly thought of every little thing that makes a stay comfortable.
Beautifully/tastefully furnished, updated finishes, comfy beds, great AC, fully loaded kitchen and they provided everything- fruit, drinks, coffee, breakfast munchies etc.
We were not familiar with Chicago at all but knew we wanted not be in downtown with the tourists. The property's location is right in the best neighborhood with all types of restaurants, movie theater, nice grocery store within a few minutes walk.
Close proximity for my family to see everything- we did college tour of Northwestern and U of Chicago as well as the usual touristy things. Of note, there is a app-based bike rental right down the street, and we rode our bikes to the lakefront on July 4th. Simply could not have picked a nicer place to stay.
Will most definitely urge my friends to stay here if ever they come to Chicago. Thank you Jeff and Lisa!!

Beautiful condo
We loved our stay in Lakeview! The condo is beautiful and exactly as pictured. We were greeted with wine, treats and flowers and it was much appreciated after a long day of travel. The home was spacious and had everything you could need. It was also walking distance to shops, restaurants, wrigley, the lake and Lincoln Park. We would love to stay here again!

This property is clean and stylish! The interior design and furnishings are gorgeous. And, its location cannot be beat! The property manager was very responsive and nice. I will stay here every time I visit Sweet Home Chicago!

Great property, terrific location
Can’t say enough about this place. Walk to Wrigley, the L, Lincoln Park, great restaurants and coffee in a super location. Easy access to downtown and points north. The flat is charming and very well appointed, and it could not have been cleaner. The Esquire covers wall was fascinating - like interactive art. Jeff was an excellent host. We’ll stay again.

Great Location and AMAZING hosts
Jeff and Lisa were helpful from the very beginning of our booking. They provided information on all our transportation needs, local recommendations, and were available for all our questions throughout our stay. I would recommend staying with them without reservation and hope to stay with them next time we are in Chicago.
*They also has a couple bottles of wine, fresh fruit and delicious cookies waiting for us upon our arrival*

Lovely Condo
We spent a week here for our son's wedding. This condo is wonderful. All the comforts of home and close to a great grocery store, gym and some pretty good restaurants as well. Jeff and Lisa were super responsive to any questions we had and made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. A little wine, flowers, cookies and some fresh fruit were all waiting for us. We will definitely stay here again.

It was everything we wanted it to be. The location, apartment and amenities.
The kitchen was first class with everything one would possibly need. The location is great if you are a baseball fan and full of life and excellent restaurants and theater. The walk to the lake is 5 minutes! We would definitely study here again!

A wonderful stay
We had a truly awesome stay. The apartment was perfect for the four of us (including our 7 year old twins). The owners Jeff and Lisa were extremely thoughtful and made it very welcoming from the start - one of the easiest vrbo experiences we have had. Details like fully stocked paper and cleaning products, coffee, cookies, wine and flowers were fantastic. The area was perfect too - a very short walk to the supermarket (with its own bar!), dining options, and Lincoln Park. And plentiful Ubers for short trips downtown. Beats a hotel suite hands down.

Outstanding condo in great location, beautifully furnished and equipped.
A wonderful place to stay in Chicago, close to public transport, shops and restaurants and just a few minutes walk from the lake shore. Our generous hosts provided wine, coffee, tea, fruit, chocolates and fresh flowers and were readily available to answer questions. There was also a well stocked larder. The condo is extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean and in a quiet and very smart avenue. We could not fault the accommodation and were very sorry to leave after 8 nights.

Just perfect!
This place was fabulous! The condo is so clean and well appointed. The owners had some lovely complimentary food and drink that we enjoyed immensely. The beds and linens and towels were luxurious. Location, location location...close to restaurants, grocery store, the train and Wrigley Field by train and walking. We did everything so easily from this location. You can’t go wrong with choosing this place

Great Stay! Great Location!
We loved this property. We were in town to visit our daughter and attend the Pearl Jam concert at Wrigley Field. Very clean, spacious, and nicely updated. Beautiful kitchen with dishwasher and full size refrigerator. Owners had left us some delicious cookies and fresh cut flowers. The location was great! Beautiful tree lined street with so many things to do nearby. We went to Mariano's grocery, just around the corner, to stock up on food and snacks. Lots of restaurants, bars, and cool shops in the area. It was an easy walk to Wrigley and to the lake area. The money we saved on ride share fees added up quickly compared to previous visits when we have stayed downtown. They have a guest spot in their garage available for renters but we decided to fly in this time. Jeff was great to deal with and responded promptly to any questions we had during our stay. We will definitely be back in the future!

Great Location
This was a great location near restaurants, bars, grocery store, coffee, ice cream. A little bit of a walk to the train (~10 min), which wasn't too bad, but I could see that being more difficult if the weather was poor or if a longer walk was physically difficult.
Jeff and Lisa were easy to work with. They provided several bottles of wine, snacks, espresso, and cookies as a bonus. We had an infant and they even set up the pack and play for us. Top notch service! Absolutely recommended if you're looking for something in Chicago.
Only difficulty was parking. They have a small garage unit that could fit a sedan, but we had a Chevy Traverse (3 kids on a road trip), so we had to find street parking which was extremely difficult.
While everything was fantastic, my only recommendation would be to replace the master bed frame. It is beautiful, but super squeaky. I kept getting woken up in the night when my wife would roll over in bed.
Again, this was an excellent rental and would recommend to anyone who is looking in the area.
5.0
Everything you could want
Location is wonderful - coffee, grocery, restaurants just around the corner yet still a quiet street. Walk to Halsted, Wrigley, Lincoln Park. Flat was beautiful and comfortable with everything you need plus extra thoughtful touches from the owner. Garage was handy, though a tight squeeze for our Mazda CX5. but it was great to have and not usually offered with places this close-in!
5.0
Our second time renting and it was once again THE PERFECT place to stay! We will be back for year 3!
This rental really makes you feel like a local in Chi-town! The location is AMAZING, the condo is equally AMAZING with every amenity one could think of, and the owners are a pleasure to work with:)
