Chicago Lake Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was somewhat dated. The staff was very responsive, and the hotel was within walking distance of the Obama Library and the Museum of Science and Industry. The Hyde Park area of Chicago is lovely. The hotel was reasonably priced."

LakeHouse with rooftop and views of lake.

"Our family stayed at this home while our son had a competition in downtown Chicago. It’s a very spacious place—plenty of room for our crew of 5 AND my parents. The host was very clear with communication, so we knew exactly what to expect. The home is clean, welcoming and beautiful with full amenities, and a quick 20min drive into downtown. Thank you for the beautiful stay!"

Comfy 4 bedroom Apartment in the center of CHICAGO! 15 mins from Downtown!

8/10 Good

"Dylan’s place worked perfectly for what we needed. Easy and free parking on the street. Comfy beds. Not a ton to do in the area without driving but the area seems to be “up and coming”. The place is a little bare bones but worked fine for us. If you are a traveling family or have kids, maybe this isn’t the place for you but if you need a spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city and just need a place to crash with a decent bed this works fine. The price was great and we did find some good coffee and breakfast spots about 10-15 mins away. Overall a decent place to stay."

Private Basement Suite-Completely separate from the rest of the house

"I discovered the property was about 2 streets west and 6 blocks south of an apartment complex that was my residence as a child before finally moving in a house on the far southwest side of the city. It is helpful to learn about the CTA bus routes and the L" train stations prior to arriving at the location."

Luxe Loft vibe –4BR/3BA Apt– King Suite-11 minutes from downtown-Families-Groups

"Chris , himself, was a delight to work with. He was responsive and kind. Due to a water issue, we did not stay in the apartment that we booked and that is why I only gave 3 stars. The apartment we did stay in, was not set up and ready for renters. That was the reason for only 4 stars. There were personal belongings (wet towel, toothbrush in the shower, etc) out and refrigerator/freezer were being used. It wasn’t a big problem for us , but I didn’t appreciate being told we were being “upgraded” at no charge-as if we were getting a deal. I specifically looked at the listing to know if I should bring a hairdryer and this turned out not to be available in the “upgrade “. It is not handicapped accessible- not an issue for us, but it would be for some. The brownstone looks nice from the outside and doesn’t really match the surrounding area. Good proximity to the Obama museum."
