About this apartment rental
This is THE place to stay for all things Chicago.
Everything you need is here:
* Fabulous well stocked chef's kitchen
* Extra large dining table
* Cable TV, superfast Wifi
* Spacious open plan lets you spread out & still visit.
* Elevator, single level home, no stairs!
* Our small property is the antedote to big hotel lobbies with lots of shared spaces.
* As live on site owners, our committment to your health and safety is PERSONAL.
Please note the frontline rate shown on some listing sites is for our minimum number of guests and may not include EXTRA guest fees or taxes or the housekeeping fee. Your final quote will include those totals. Pricing is always based on the number of guests.
Bachelor & Bachelorette groups love our space - but note that as live in owner's we're pretty particular about welcoming only the best behaved, so if your group is looking for a beautiful, comfortable space, and especially if you imagine sitting together around the dining table over a dinner or brunch together (we can even suggest local caterers) - we are THE vacation rental for you!
**If you're a group that's coming ONLY to bar hop and party all night - we might not be the space for you.... (we're a family friendly building and aren't keen on lots of drunken guests stumbling in at 3 AM ;-( **
Located at the crossroads of Lincoln Park - Old Town & River North - Old Town Chicago, Mag Mile, Fulton Market, Wicker Park & Wrigleyville are all just minutes away - without any of the urban noise and congestion.
This is a private apartment. You'll have access to all of the amenities listed. And for those who don't like stairs - you'll love that our Magic Factory Loft Two East is all on one level (and access to it is provided by elevator).
Located in Chicago's newest neighborhood - 'SONO', at the crossroads of Lincoln Park - Old Town & River North - we are just two blocks south of Chicago’s “little Michigan Avenue” and on the Halsted Street busline, the North Avenue & Division street buses as well as the North/Clybourn Red Line and the Sedgwick Brown Line. In short, there is nowhere you can't get to in pretty much a straight shot.
If you’re heading to Chicago and looking to be near downtown but want a more neighborhood experience with friendly, knowledgeable transcontinental hosts, our home on Halsted just might be the perfect fit for you.
We are always there for you!! Communication prior to arrival and trhough check-out will be via a private WhatsApp chat group that we setup for your group. For larger non-family groups, we request everyone be added to it - this avoids issues with arrival, check-in and offers you immediate responses from our team during your stay. This ensures a great stay!
The neighborhood is great: Vibrant and alive, with plenty to do, to eat, to drink & to be entertained by: Plus, everything you need is right here: We've got the second largest Whole Foods market around the corner with it's fabulous food court (5 dining options) and tables along the riverfront, a great neighborhood pub & wine bar, as well as Marino's Market and a Super Target for shopping.
When your stomach growls food options abound from great casual places like Uncle Julio's, Nando's PeriPeri, Earl's, Tecalitlan Mexican Kitchen & Margarita Bar as well as Mouse Trap / Off Color Brewery's taproom along with Goose Island Brewery if you'd like to sample a local Chicago beer. There's also a several great live theater venues up the street including Steppenwolf as well as comedy & improv stages at the Second City. The Mag Mile, Millennium Park, Chicago's amazing lakefront and Navy Pier, as well as the city's finest museums are all just minutes away - but you're still in a funky friendly neighborhood with great little local shops & cafes as opposed to being in the high rise heartland. Sports fans will love our proximity to Wrigley Field (3 stops on the train) and Soldier's Field and the United Center are minutes by car or cab.

We had a great time at Carole and Basils place. They were extremely helpful in making sure we had the best time possible. They supplied us with multiple food spots as well as must see attractions. We will stay here again when visiting the windy city!

We loved the area and the condo was clean, modern and spacious. We had some noise from upstairs condo, but the owners addressed our concerns. This condo has restaurants, bars and shopping all in walking distance.

My four siblings and their families transcended on Chicago - 12 total - to attend a multi-memorial event. This was a PERFECT place - comfort, size and location - to have the entire family under one roof. Even though we came together for solemn event, the accommodations made it a memorable and joyous occasion as we were able to gather together to remember our aunts and uncle who are now no longer with us

Spent the weekend in Chicago to attend a Cubs game and sight see. the property is in a great location with a large meeting area perfect for my group of 10.
Hosts we're attentive and responded quickly if needed. property is clean, in a secured building with we felt was a plus. We would definitely book again in the future and highly recommend this spot if you have a large group.

We stayed here for lollapalooza and we’re pleased with the Vrbo. The location is fantastic and the management team was nice. My group was a bit loud the last night but the management team handled it quite well in being respectful of both my group and the others who complained. I’d recommend this place
10.0 / 10.0
We loved how walkable the area was and how secure our loft felt. TONS of beds and extras with the trundles underneath. Pictures don’t do the space justice, honestly. Perfect for a low-key bachelorette party (a group of 14). Basil is kind and a quick communicator.

We had a group of 10 in Chicago for the Taylor Swift concert. The loft is really nice and clean. Very spacious. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. It's close to train and bus stops, but also close enough to popular spots that the cost of an Uber was reasonable, especially for a group our size. The owners were flexible with our check-in and check-out times, they even held our bags after check-out so we could continue to explore the city before our train out of town. Even before arriving, they sent an email with instructions, that also included helpful information about what restaurants and stores were close by. All in all, it was a good experience.
10.0 / 10.0
Our group thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay. The space was large, well maintained, and provided a great base to visit Chicago for a long weekend.
The hosts were excellent with all communications, provided a friendly experience at check-in, and made our stay memorable. Book it and you will enjoy!

The Magic Factory loft was a great space for our family to gather for our long weekend together exploring Chicago. The open floor plan allowed the 10 of us to enjoy our brief time together. It had everything you could need and it had a beautiful view of the city. The owners were very helpful and helped us feel at home and very safe. The appliances were good quality, the beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of bathrooms. The space was perfect for us to stage our adventures out into the city, close to everything, but on a nice quiet street.

Our corporate sales team enjoyed using 3 of the 4 bedrooms with lockable doors and private bathrooms while in Chicago for a trade show. The cost for three people was about one third of what the hotels were charging! It was clean, comfortable and very convenient.

Underrated Place to Stay!
The photos of this property just don’t do it justice - this place is great! Excellent open floor plan and very private. The location was perfect for getting around the city, and walkable to cafes, bars, and restaurants.
We stayed here for a bachelor party with 9 guys, and the space was very comfortable. Every guy had his own bed, which was clutch. The host was easy to reach and communication was good, though the pre-check-in process is somewhat tedious (something that seems to be the norm when staying in Chicago).
Overall, this stay is an excellent value (the best I found in the city) for its size, condition, and location. Highly recommend!

Bachelor Party
Everything was better than expected! I was very unfamiliar with the Chicago area and was nervous about the location before arriving. However, we had everything we needed within a short 10-minute walk. There was a Target and Whole Foods right down the street as well as restaurants and bars down the adjacent streets. The property slept 9 guys very comfortably, each one of us having our own bed and easy access to 3 bathrooms. The building was very quiet and the room was very private. There was only one other room on our floor, but we didn't see or hear a single person the entire time we were there. Check-in was very easy and quick. Would definitely stay here again!

Clean, comfortable, safe.
Great place for large or small groups. Property was clean and comfortable. We felt safe in this neighborhood at all times. Location is a short walk to the Red Line subway/train for access to the city. Recommended - Would definitely stay here again!

Great for our large family group. We had plenty of room, and the location was central to everything we had planned. It made a great home base for us.

Very convenient, clean & comfortable!
Everything was perfect! The condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It accomodated 7 of us comfortably. The 3 bathrooms gave each of us the privacy we needed. Beds were very comfortable and building was quiet. There was minimal noise from the street which allowed for restful sleep. Plenty to do nearby! This is the perfect getaway location for a larger group!

Fantastic stay in a great city
The space was perfect for our group of 8 with enough space in the main area for us all to hang out and not feel crowded. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedding/linens were comfortable, and overall easy to get to with straightforward checkin/check out instructions from the hosts. If a completely dark room bothers you, note that one of the bedrooms (with two twin beds and an extra roll away) has no windows so is fully dark - on the other hand, many people like that - so it's not a complaint, just a heads up for those who may have strong feelings about it. All other rooms have great natural lighting and blackout curtains if the dark is your preference.
Was a great stay overall - communications with the hosts were pretty easy and they responded within 15-30 minutes, and were very friendly and accommodating to our group, and the location definitely seems up and coming (new climbing gym coming in around the corner later this year if you're into that, although it wasn't open yet when our group was there).

Great stay!
We had an amazing stay at Basil and Carole’s place! From the moment we checked in with basil we knew we had found an amazing gem in the city. Super easy to get around, easy parking, huge rooms. The added touches of chocolate on our pillows and bowl of tootsie rolls was awesome
Too! Thanks for being great hosts

A hidden Chicago gem.
Our family of four adults spent four days at Basil and Carole's loft apartment. This home is beautiful with some of the most comfortable beds and sofas we have ever had in a VRBO property. The location is wonderful with easy access to downtown and Lincoln park neighborhoods. The eclectic decor and upscale appliances are fabulous! But most of all, Basil and Carole are wonderful, warm, welcoming hosts and we will never forget this vacation.

Amazing girls trip spot
The loft was absolutely amazing and it fit 6 adult women comfortably and we still had space to chill out! The home was so clean and Carole was an amazing host! The loft is in a great location if you’re wanting to go out. But even more perfect when you just want to play some games and have fun in the loft! Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Location and Great Place for a Large Group
The loft was clean and was the perfect place for a group of 8 of us to stay. There were plenty of places to sleep and hang out. Lots of good eating options within walking distance and the El was just up the street so you could get anywhere in the city easily. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place to stay with a relatively large group of people.

Great spot for family getaway in Chicago
We took 8 for a winter getaway to Chicago that included 4 grandkids under age 8. We stayed in 3E and the apartment was incredibly clean, very comfortable, in great shape and loaded with all the amenities of home. It’s a large space, and feels as if it was recently renovated with new appliances, great bedding, and awesome bathrooms The owner Carole was very attentive to our needs. Parking was easy on the street for one of our cars and we used their garage for another. The neighborhood is very walkable with an array of restaurants within an 8 minute walk. Mariano’s grocery is just two blocks away and Whole Foods also walkable. There is a great playground for the kids in a park 2 blocks away. getting around Chicago is really easy from this spot with short drives to the highlights of downtown Chicago. The neighborhood is safe and likely quiet most of the year, but around Christmas time there is a pop-up Christmas bar across the street that had a bit of late night action that did wake those of us in the southern bedroom once or twice but it really didn’t impact our overall 5 star experience. We would highly recommend this property.

Absolutely perfect
Traveling with a group of 8 from 12-73 years old offers diverse needs, all of which were met at the loft. A quick summary...
Cleanliness: we are VERY picky about this and found it to be spotless.
Location: bus and train service to take you anywhere very close by. Groceries also very close.
Neighborhood: parking was close (directly in front of the entrance if you were able to get there during the day) and free with the parking passes the hosts provided. You can hear street noise but it wasn't enough to bother us at all.
Loft: the floorplan uses all space very efficiently. Plenty of space for all of us (8 ) with beds left unoccupied. We cooked an entire Thanksgiving feast (everything from scratch) and worried we wouldn't have what we need for that kind of cooking but lacked nothing. High end appliances and supplies like cookie sheets and baking dishes were lovely to find. The bathrooms were spacious and immaculate. Living room/dining room had seating for everyone and was comfortable and spacious.
Hosts: very accommodating, answered questions and requests quickly, assisted with parking late in the evening, very interesting to visit with! Basil showed us around the loft, pointing out amenities, then visited for a while. We actually thought to invite them down for another visit but didn't want to infringe on their time. Very nice people.
Overall: we are considering booking this unit again next year because it really was perfect for what we needed. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing location in GREAT neighborhood
Everything was as advertised. Carole was a great host and really went out of her way to make us feel welcome and make sure we had a great time. The apartment was spacious and on a nice side street. We would definitely book again.
