Easy access to Downtown

Cool house to stay at and location was very easy to travel into DT Chicago. Considerably less expensive than comparable houses DT and North. Well worth staying at.

Chicago Stay

This house was very clean, comforting and architecturally amazing. It's a15-minute drive to downtown before rush hour and generally in a good area. Had some communication with the property managers and they were very kind, easygoing and accommodating. Definitely recommend this listing.

Beautiful home

The house was beautiful and had everything we needed! The only complaint is that there were air fresheners everywhere and they were a bit overpowering for us, but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.

Family stay at Griffin Manor

Not the best neighborhood; girls were a little scared at first, but didn't have any issues. Very nice place and owner was great. He put 3 window ACs in there with isulation for us since we are used to 70 degrees. Tub had jets and was nice. Plenty of hot water. TVs a bit small. Bed was super comfy. About 15 mins from downtown, 30 in rush hour. Had a blast overall.

We love this beautiful home

The pictures don't do this home justice; it is absolutely gorgeous! We arrived late at night the day of check-in, but we were still able to take in all the beauty. The home is very secure, towels were provided, kitchen utensils were available, and there was also complimentary coffee and wine. Additionally, there were tons of books available in a built-in bookcase for our reading pleasure. Since I am a whole nerd, I (along with my husband) took full advantage of it. I'll be coming back to town in a few months, and will be booking again just so I can relax and bask in this mansion one more time and read some more books. We did not have to contact the owner for any reason, however he did come out to greet us when we arrived the first night. This was greatly appreciated. My 8yr old loved the home so much, she wrote the owners a letter before going to bed the first night and wanted to deliver it to them personally, but she found a nice spot in the kitchen to leave it for them. Definitely reserve this home!!

Lovely Stay not too far from Downtown

This was a lovely listing and I had a great time at the home. The listing is closer to the Garfield Park neighborhood but it was a short 10-15 minute bus ride to the downtown area. If I came back, I would use the public transit more than Uber/Lyft. The homeowners had some wine and some snacks available at the listing when I arrived which was a lovely touch. The master room has a TV in it and the small lounge room in photo 10 is actually connected to it with another TV if people would prefer more privacy. The listing worked well for me because I was traveling on my own but might be hard for others with only one bathroom and the master bedroom not having a real door. I was a little nervous about renting a property that the homeowners lived at but they were very respectful of my privacy and you will have the entire 2nd floor to yourselves. They were very quick to reply to any issues that I had and I would definitely recommend connecting with them prior to arrival. The listing was easy to access and uses keyless entry but stairs are required. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows felt like sleeping on clouds.
