What a cute, quirky artsy apartment. Everything we needed for a weeks visit to the area. We used the well equipped kitchen often and there was even a coffee grinder for our whole beans, John and Amy were welcoming and kind (be sure to visit Amy’s cool store). The only thing to be aware of is there are little steps down to the bedroom and up to the bed so if you have mobility issues be careful. We plan to return when we next visit family in Evanston. Enjoy the peacefulness!

We initially chose this property due to the proximity to our family in Evanston. But the location turned out to be ideal with restaurants, shops, and train transport all a 2 minute walk! Parking was available but we were able to park on the street, no problem. The basement apartment was clean and the decor a pleasant change from the ordinary! Had everything we needed. GREAT garden/yard. Able to use that extensively for getting together with family & friends. You'll enjoy staying here.

Cozy Casa Reva!
Perfect location to come visit local family during the Thanksgiving holiday! Very cozy and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine & snacks. Full kitchen stocked with many things needed to make cooking our portion of our holiday meal a breeze. Extremely accommodating to ensure we had our parking situation squared away as street parking is not always the easiest in this area. Walking distance to two favorite bakeries - Hewn and Great Harvest and most importantly, the Central St Metra train station for getting downtown Chicago. We would love to stay here again in the future!

Lovely oasis in North Evanston
Casita Reva is a cozy, comfortable, safe place to stay in North Evanston. It's convenient to the Metra and central street shops, including several bakeries and cafes perfect for breakfasts. The backyard and interior are lovingly appointed with awesome Latin art that gives the place a feel of the best of Mexico, and features fast wifi, with off-street parking also available. Overall strongly recommend!!

Repeat stay
This is our second time staying here and it was as great as the first time. Whether spending time in the immediate area- golfing, hiking, sightseeing, shopping -or venturing to Downtown or Wrigley you have the best of all worlds. Communication with John is always prompt and they are on site if you need
anything. We did not have a car this trip so easily used the train and Uber. There are shops and restaurants within walking distance as well. Do not hesitate to book this property!

Home away from home.
Casita Reva is charming. John and Amy are wonderful hosts. The casita has everything - a well-appointed kitchen, laundry, a comfortable bed and more. Public transportation, grocery stores, Northwestern and Lake Michigan are all within walking distance. If I return to Evanston I will absolutely return to Casita Reva. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for your hospitality.

Delightful place, great hosts, perfect location
We could not have been more delighted in our Casita Reva stay and hope to get back some time. We were able to entertain with the full kitchen, we walked to restaurants, coffee shops and the train for easy access to Chicago. The ground floor apartment is sunny, south facing with a delightful garden area that even includes a cozy fire pit. Our host could not have been nicer, checking in to insure our stay was comfortable.

Charming Little Gem in Evanston
We had a lovely stay at Casita Reva! John and Amy were gracious hosts and VERY understanding when we discovered that we had accidentally taken their Guest Book home with us to Toronto, Canada! The beautiful decor, high end appliances, lovely garden and patio, great location near trains to downtown, and close to Northwestern University where my Conference was held, made this a perfect getaway!
Highly recommend for couples or small families, who wish to be off the beaten path.

Home away from home
In June, we went to Chicago with our 23 year old son to help him move into a downtown apartment for the summer. At that time, the hotel prices in the city were outrageous. We were fortunate to find this Casita as it served as the perfect home away from home for the three of us for several days. It was warm and welcoming as were the owners. We enjoyed exploring a part of Chicago with much character that we may not have otherwise visited. There are interesting shops nearby, a tremendous selection of great restaurants in the surrounding area, a park, places to walk and golf courses. We very much enjoyed getting to know John and felt very welcomed and comfortable. Do not hesitate to book this property!

Great Casita, Great Hospitality!
Super unique casita with gracious hospitality! Comfortable, quiet, cozy, super clean, washer and dryer, towels, everything you'll need. We walked to shops and dinner on Central St., great location, relaxed in the garden and had wine with Amy and John! I will recommend to all of our friends and family. We Loved it!

Decompression Special
This Casita was perfect for me. It is quiet, close enough to shops and cafes to walk. Bed comfortable, TV fine. I was able to walk to Northwestern easily. I hope to return.

Cozy, Unique and Delightful Casita!
We LOVED our stay at this southwestern themed and happy Casita in Evanston. Despite the frigid temperatures outside during our visit, the apartment was welcoming, warm and comfy enough that we almost didn't want to leave! It felt like a happy home away from home. Also love the location, close enough to walk to the shops on Central Street (and a delightful coffeeshop) and love being such close walking distance to the train to get downtown. Hope to get to stay in the Casita again very soon!! Thank you!

4 Nights for business
I really enjoyed this space and would come back anytime! It has a nice homey feel and had everything needed for cooking and was also close to nice places to go out to as well. The back patio was very nice to sit outside, especially near dusk when the fireflies put on a show!
More than enough space to be comfortable and the design is fun and happy.
A very nice area to walk around and not too far from the lake either. It was a great place to come 'home' to after a days work!
John was easy to work with and was available if needed. Overall, a really great place and area!

Excellent home away from home in Chicago
This was our second time staying at Casita Reva.
We absolutely love this place.
We stayed here last summer for work in Chicago because it was accessible by the subway and close to the interstate.
Then we chose to stay there again this summer for an entire week because
we really love to owners (helpful, warm and accessible),
we love the apartment (it's gorgeous, comfortable, convenient and spacious),
and the location is excellent (this part of Evanston is walking distance from the subway
but also in a gorgeous part of town with cafes, yoga studios and restaurants all a block away).
We are so pleased with this apartment and the owners
that we're already planning a 3rd trip for 2018 and plan to stay again.
We're two professors who like to be comfortable when we travel, and this play is fabulous!
The appliances are in great condition. The bed is comfortable.
The bathroom/kitchen are clean and modern.
Next time we home to stay for 2 weeks!

Very clean, extremely convenient location with quirky charm
Located in the remodeled garage of a typical older Chicago apartment building. Very close - walking distance - to great restaurants. In Evanston, close to Northwestern. Commuter rail to downtown 2 blocks away, EL about a mile away. Nice quiet neighborhood. Lovely outdoor courtyard. Owner lives on site and is very pleasant. Immediately responded to TV issue we had. Would definitely book again when back in Chicago.
