Host was accommodating with last minute change to reservation. Location was close to our family with easy street parking. Felt safe, family neighborhood. Very clean and newly updated. Nice for a small family or couple to land after a day in the city. . Basement apartment with lower ceilings. Dorm fridge and microwave in mini kitchen. Appreciated the washer and dryer.

We had a wonderful stay at Shimmy's apartment. The place was immaculate. It is so nice to stay at a place that is so well taken care of. Our hosts were wonderful! It is evident that their aim is to ensure the guests are comfortable and are able to enjoy their stay. We definitely recommend the apartment to anyone planning a visit to Chicago. It is a big city and if you don't bring a car, you can get to the bus stop in a few minutes walk, then you can use trains to get around Chicago without any issue.

Cozy Nook in Nice, Quite Neighborhood
This spot was perfect for our Chicago visit where we mostly needed a place to sleep, not hang out. It seemed to have been refinished recently, so beds were comfy, bathroom lovely, and sitting area big enough for the two of us.

Clean and comfortable!
Very nice and affordable! Much like a stay in a hotel suite, but situated in charming and safe neighborhood and void of the odd smells you’d get from smokers or God knows what else haha. The hosts were present in the home above, but were very communicative and respectful! The space was just so cute and well kept! Will gladly stay here in again in the future! Thank you hosts! My daughter had a great 15th birthday weekend, partly contributed by you both! Blessings!
