Hidden East Village Gem

This lovely unit in an a peaceful treelined street that is quiet and an oasis form the hustle bustle from the city. This quiet and well appointed listing offers a fully stocked kitchen and a patio to enjoy a relaxing dinner or a drink on the patio.

The East Village Historic District is a historic district in the East Village neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The district is primarily residential and includes the oldest portions of the neighborhood. German immigrants and German Americans settled and developed the district from 1870 to 1920. Settlers were drawn to the area due to its proximity to jobs, both in local businesses and in larger industries such as brewing. Many of the architects and builders of the district's homes were German as well; they generally built houses in vernacular styles using masonry. After 1920, the neighborhood became primarily Polish; its demographics shifted again in the 1960s due to Hispanic settlement.[2]

Great Chicago Getaway Stay!
PROS: Spacious, comfortable, clean, modern yet charming, well-appointed 2 bed/2 bath with lovely common areas. The listing is accurate - this place is a GEM! I would stay here again. Best of my Chicago VRBO experiences to date. Kept us warm & safe on a very cold & snowy long weekend! Neighborhood is lovely, safe & quiet. Would love to experience the windows/porch/etc. in warmer weather. William the host was communicative, positive, and friendly.CONS: Be aware - the property mgmt software/system was a major frustration. Check-in was confusing, the lockbox was a mechanical challenge, and check-out instructions were received after we left the unit. I can only imagine the issues that must come with managing city property rentals... still, there were a lot of warnings and policies and messages and fee lists that did not apply to this property (?) or to who my friend and I are as travelers. The worst part was that we did not have the codes/clarity we actually needed to cover the basics of being a polite, informed pair of out-of-town guests. These are issues that should be easy to address for future guests at this specific property. I sincerely hope these hosting processes will be improved because this is a fantastic VRBO option in Chicago!

The apartment was cozy, clean and comfortable. The owner was easy to reach out to and the location was fantastic. Few mins to bus stops and Blue Line. It was a breeze to check in and out and access it throughout the length of stay. I would return to the same apartment again.

Good location in a great city
We really enjoyed our stay here. Busses were easy to access to get to mostly anywhere you wanted to go. Communication with the property managment was easy and swift. There is alot of good food and shopping in the area. The master bedroom was large and bad a comfortable bed. There bathrooms were also nice. The second bedroom was a nice room, but much smaller which is fine. The only issue we had was the 2nd bedroom mattress. The mattress had no support and you could feel the couch frame underneath. My brother and his girlfriend ended up taking the mattress off and using it on the ground ehich helped substandtially. I would recommend getting a better futon if advertising as a 2 bedroom. Either way, we were really happy with evrything else. My only other suggestion would be to get metal cooking utensils, since the stove is gas powered and plastic can melt fairly easily which can be a fire hazard. There are large windows which we really liked. Again, a beautiful area and seemed pretty safe. A few good mexican restaurants in the area as well as cockstail bards.

Overall we were happy with our stay. Very clean apartment. We had no problem finding parking close by. Please note the second queen "bed" is a pull out couch that is not comfortable. Would work for young kids because they seem to be able to sleep on anything.

Spacious apartment in great location
This apartment was beautiful! Perfect spot to relax with our adult children. We really appreciated that there were two full bathrooms with showers. The kitchen area had everything we needed plus some extra amenities. Great location with easy access to the subway, Wicker Park and Bucktown shopping and restaurants. The only recommendation we have is to add towel bars in the bathrooms for hanging wet towels for reuse & to double check with the cleaning service. There was a sponge left in the bathroom sink and some dirty socks under the coffee table/ottoman in the living room. Surprising, but no big deal!

This was the perfect stay for a week and had everything we needed plus all the luxe amenities you like in home away from home (extra towels, plenty of soap and other amenities, nice TV). Ten minutes from L, two minutes from bike hire, walk to plenty of great food and bars, quiet street and building. Would highly recommend to friends and would definitely come back!

Great property, misleading terms
Was happy with the overall property, cleanliness, responsiveness of the host and amenities. However, the host notified us that we would not be allowed to have ANY "unauthorized guests" at the property AFTER the free cancelation period had passed. We are all adults and were planning on hosting a small dinner party/potluck for our friends but were unable to accommodate them. Host's policy is: no guests allowed at any time, there are noise detection systems in place (despite the fact that neighbors were blasting music around the clock on the weekend) and mentions that cameras monitor all entry points 24/7. Seems unreasonable to specify this policy once it's too late to cancel. Great property (interior and location) and friendly host; shame the policies were so strict.

Nice one!!
A nice and clean condo that’s well furnished. Would definitely recommend it for a small group or family. It’s tucked in a quiet residential neighborhood a short distance away from the hustle and bustle. Wicker Park with shops and restaurants is just 0.5 miles away. Downtown is easily accessible by taking the blue line from Division Station. Convenient!! Will want to stay here again.

A great weekend
Property was as described and very clean. Access codes received in a timely manner. We enjoyed having access to a kitchen (as opposed to being in a hotel) and the game collection was thoughtful. We played Yahtzee. :) It's a nice quiet neighborhood (lots of folks walking their dogs) right behind a main street with a lovely little bodega just a 4-minute walk away. About a 10-minute walk to a Blue Line station, which got us everywhere we wanted to go. (Wicker Park is just one stop up the line!)
