About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Avondale Lower Level

Check out my basement apartment in Irving Park. The property is right off of Addison Street. Free parking and close to the 90/94 expressway. The Addison Blue Line subway is a 10 minute walk.

Basically a rec space, I rent this out at different times of the year as a convenience to those looking for an alternative to hotels and want to live like a local. I am not part of a property management group, but do love accommodating guests.

***This basement unit has low ceilings (not super low, but should be noted)***
***Pets live on the property and next door. Although not excessive, you will hear dogs at times***
***The "back yard" area "is not" available for use.

As your host, I will help with any information you may need to make your stay in Chicago a memorable one. If I'm in town and not working I will be able to greet you upon your arrival. However majority of the time I am away, and will provide instructions on entering the unit.

You have 100% Privacy. You will not be sharing this apartment with any one else.

The unit also has a private entrance that only you will use. Plenty of permit parking available in front of the house. I provide the permits.

Cooking ware provided.

A Smart TV is mounted in the living room. You can choose to stream or use antenna tv. There is no cable tv.

The apartment has a full bathroom and laundry room.

The master bedroom has a king bed, dresser, and closet. The second bedroom is smaller and has a full size bed. The entire space fits 4-5 people.

Great Stay!

I enjoyed a weekend stay here for the Chicago Marathon and it was great! The location was on a nice, quiet street, while still being close to stores for anything you need and public transportation (trains & busses). The apartment was clean and had all the necessities and the host was very kind and communicative. Would highly recommend!

This place is in the perfect spot. Groceries and a delicious diner a block away, a nearby train station, and a bus stop around the corner; just perfect. The place was clean and cozy, the host was very friendly and communicative, we loved our stay. Will definitely return!

Cozy space and a cute neighborhood

This property had everything we needed to explore Chicago for a few days. The neighborhood is very cute and walkable, and everything in the apartment worked as it should. One thing You need to know is that this is a basement apartment with low ceilings.

Great place! Clean, easy in and out for a Cubs game and Wrigley Field!

We just stayed two nights the second night going to a Cubs game using Lyft. We used the train to go downtown the first night just a 7-10 minute walk from the house and we felt completely safe walking.

Cubs/Reds game

Great place to stay while attending a Cubs game, especially if you have a dog traveling with you. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Close to bus route to Wrigley Field, less than a block. Our favorite place to eat was Easy Street Pizza and Beer Garden, 2922 W. Irving Pard Rd., which is a short drive approximately 7 blocks away.

girls trip

The apartment is in the perfect location if you are going to Wrigley Field. Just a short bus ride away. It was also a short walk to the station to take the train into the city. Perfect location for anything you wanted to do. The apartment was very clean and matched the description given. I have never had better communication with an owner before this stay. He answered any question that we had and checked in on us. We would totally stay here again in the future when we visit Chicago.

Convenient

My husband and I stayed here while visiting our daughter and her fiancé. It’s in a good location, we felt safe and loved that we had parking passes so we could park right in front of the house. We never had an issue finding parking. It’s definitely a basement and has a basement smell, not bad, but it’s there. The ceilings (door frames) are lower than expected. My husband is 6’2” and was constantly pumping his head. The heat is controlled by the owner which we thought was very strange. Over all it worked for us, we weren’t there often, just to sleep.
