About this house rental
Welcome to The Compound! Walk to everything Chicago has to offer- downtown, beach, park, restaurants and bars; bring family or friends to this spacious property on a quiet neighborhood street in historic Old Town.
This amazing space has 6 large bedrooms, plus a bonus 7th walk through bedroom, 6 beautiful full bathrooms, 3 private outdoor spaces, 2 stunning kitchens, 2 washers, 2 dryers, 2 parking spaces in a covered garage, 1 bar area, 1 powder room and sleeps up to 28! Pets are welcome. What else can you possibly need?
This very large house is divided into two areas- the front has 4 bedrooms and the back has 2 bedrooms. You would be renting the entire space, all 6 bedrooms. While the two spaces technically connect, the door between them has been blocked off as I rent the two spaces separately as well. You need to go through the outdoor walkway (still on the property) to get from one half to the other (just a few steps between the two front doors- see pictures).
FRONT:
First floor: a living room with a soaring ceiling and a fireplace plus dining room as one open floor plan, full bath, and kitchen. The large kitchen has a stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave. There is also a spacious fully fenced in the front yard with a grill.
The second floor has two bedrooms and one full bathroom. The third floor has a large bar with a full-size fridge and a microwave, family room and two more bedrooms with en-suite bath each. There is a deck off one of the bedrooms.
BACK:
The first floor has a living room with a fireplace plus dining room as one open floor plan, bath and kitchen. The kitchen has a stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave. Second floor has one regular bedrooms and a two room bedroom suite plus two full bathrooms. It is decorated in an Insta worthy Haute Couture fashion style.
There is also a spacious backyard with the second grill and more outdoor seating.
Both kitchens are fully stocked if you wish to cook, host or just eat a take out out of real dishware.
OTHER AMENITIES:

WORRY FREE CLEANING PACKAGE:
At check out you will need to take care of trash overflow, dishes, exuberant messes and any food you brought. The worry free package covers any and all cleaning. Just walk out in the morning (you do need to move furniture back if you make any changes to layout). Note that this fee is additional to my regular cleaning fee you pay when you book the place. This package is best for those who want to decorate, cook a lot, are traveling as a group and would rather split the extra fee than worry about anything in the morning.
HOUSE RULES:
Unregistered guests are not allowed on the property. The presence of more than 28 guests is unlawful. A guest is anyone at the property, staying the night, or just visiting. Minors need to have a responsible adult present. Primary booker is required to stay on the property and provide an ID. IDs will need to be provided prior to your arrival for everyone spending any time at the property for reservations made less than 30 days in advance. This includes overnight guests or any visitors. There is a counter installed. I utilize a private security firm. If the counter shows more than the registered number of people or if I get a noise complaint from neighbors, security will be immediately dispatched. A $200 dispatch fee will be charged from your security deposit. Should they be unsuccessful in removing you from the premises, they will involve the police. This is not a place for a local house party.
ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The house is in east Old Town- best neighborhood in Chicago for both families or if you are looking to have fun. While the street itself is very quiet, tree lined and barely has cars passing by, as soon as you turn the corner, you are in the center of everything! Wells street restaurants and bars are steps away. Lincoln Park with the zoo, farm, pond, open spaces and farmers market is a 7-10 min. walk. North avenue beach is the same distance. It is perfect for walks, picnics, boat rides or good old fun in the sand. The beaches are free to the public and have breathtaking city views. Grocery shopping is made easy, seeing as Plum Market and Jewel are located right in the neighborhood. Nearby coffee shops include a 24 hour Starbucks and La Fournette. There are 103 restaurants within a 15 minute walk including some of Chicago's top restaurants including Kamehachi, Topo Gigio, The Fireplace Inn, and Woodies Flat. Bars and lounges are abundant on Wells and are all 1-2 minute walk. Shopping in Old Town is a unique experience; the majority of shops in this neighborhood are boutiques rather than well-known chain stores. Therefore, each and every store is cozy, intimate and filled with one-of-a-kind goods. The Lincoln Park Zoo is a world of wildlife in the shadow of skyscrapers. The Second City only two blocks away and it is a famous theater that specializes in sketch comedy and improv, and has been delighting audiences for over 50 years. Oak street and beginning of Michigan avenue is about 15-20 minute walk.
GETTING AROUND:
The house is a five minute walk from the Brown Line and the Purple Line at the Sedgwick stop and an eight minute walk from Red line at Clark. It takes be about 15 min to walk to Michigan Ave and Wells street bars are a minute away. Buses and cabs are also easily accessible. It is about a 3 minute drive to get onto Lake Shore drive at LaSalle and about 8 minutes to Kennedy expressway at North Avenue
The house is best for bachelor, bachelorette and friend groups as well as business travelers. It is not child proof.

We had a wonderful stay at this location. We had 22 people and felt like we had room to spare. Great location just a couple blocks from plenty of dining in Old Town.

We loved this neighborhood and the condo was perfectly situated for us to. take the train or bus wherever we wanted. Great restaurants in the area and very safe walking. We walked to the Mag Mile & the beach. The condo has LOTS of room. It was plenty big enough to hold our family group of 15

Celebrated a Bachelorette with prior approval from host. It was a great space and worked perfectly for our group. I only wish that front and back units were connected (from the inside), but it still worked out either ways. Enjoyed the leg workout climbing up and down the stairs. Garage parking was a plus. Overall, very pleased with everything.

We had a large group of 29 people. The space worked well if everyone is OK sharing queen-size beds. The host was very responsive.

We had a group of 30 stay across the two houses. They were very clean, adequately equipped and incredibly spacious for our group. Would definitely recommend Inna's property for any group large or small.

It isn't easy to find a VRBO (or otherwise) for large groups. I am a Monessori Jr. High teacher and I travel with my students twice a year for week-long city trips. We have stayed in a LOT of VRBOs and otherwise over the years with mixed results. This Old Town rental was among the very nicest we have stayed at and with among the best service and communication. The place was clean, the amenities were high quality (including and especially the kitchen and bathrooms). We were so pleased with our entire experience and we would absolutely stay here again!

Inna’s beautiful home was ideal for our group of 10, and we could have easily housed more comfortably. Great location just three blocks off Wells St and totally walkable to Gold Coast and Mag Mile. Cold temps didn’t deter us, house was toasty and quiet. No concerns at all about the nearby train. Front of the house sleeps a lot and the lower level was perfect for our hang out spot. Back of house has a nice kitchen and great patio that would be ideal in the summer. Also sleeps many, not as updated as the front but a quiet spot with easy access through the exterior doors. Available on-site garage parking for 2 cars helped so much and Inna was very responsive and accommodating throughout the process before and during our stay. Highly recommend.

Everything was perfect for our recent trip in for the Bears game. We had guys from all over the country and the house made it easy for us to congregate and catch up! The location is a short walk to the train and can access anywhere in the city from there. The ease of the check in/check out process could not have been simpler. We will definitely be renting this house again on future trips!

Wonderful Stay
Host was extremely flexible, allowing us to add a night on the front of our trip even though it meant losing a potential stay just prior, which was unbelievably kind. House was comfortable, large, and exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended.

Family trip 2019
We had 7 families with a total of 20 people. The front house was really airy and updated. The back house could have used a larger tv. Patio was wonderful. We did have construction going on next door that literally shook the houses but thankfully after 2 days settled down. Loved the location for the El and Subway as well as shopping. Inna was really receptive to all our needs. Parking is really the issue in Chicago. Glad we visited but happy to be home.

Perfect for our group!
Inna's house was spacious and provided the space/atmosphere we needed for our big group! It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed! It was in an ideal location as well. Safe neighborhood and very close to the center of the city! Everyone in the group enjoyed the stay! Will look forward to renting it again if everything works out. :) Thank you, Inna!
