THE SPACE
A classic Chicago two-flat on a quiet, tree-lined street — traditional Chicago character, updated where it counts. This is a perfect home base for a quick getaway or a long stay.
Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed
Living room with a queen pull-out sofa (air mattress) — sleeps 6 total
A second front sitting room with another couch and room to spread out — another air mattress available on request

Large TV and board games for a night in
High-speed Wi-Fi — comfortable for remote work on longer stays
Washer and dryer in the basement, available for guest use
Front porch for morning coffee, and a backyard with seating and artificial turf
Decor is Chicago sports with a Cleveland twist — the owner is a transplant, so Browns, Guardians, Cavs, and Ohio State fans will feel at home. Cubs fans welcome too
One locked owner's closet in the unit is not accessible to guests
Guest access: the entire first-floor unit is yours, plus the front porch and backyard. The basement washer/dryer is available for guest use.
GOOD TO KNOW
The owner's family lives upstairs, and this is a family neighborhood with lots of kids — a great fit for families, visiting relatives, and fans in town for a Cubs, Bulls, or Blackhawks game or a show. It is NOT a party house: parties and events are not allowed, and quiet hours are respected in the evening. Stays from 2 nights up to 2 months are welcome — ask about monthly pricing for longer stays. Pets are welcome with advance notice (max 2, $60 pet fee per stay, no pets on beds, please leash and clean up in the yard). Self check-in with a keypad code lock; the building has a security system and exterior cameras at the entrances — no cameras inside the unit. We live right upstairs and are easy to reach throughout your stay, happy to help with anything from the coffee maker to a restaurant pick — and we respect your privacy. Your parking pass will be waiting inside the unit when you arrive.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
You'll be in the Southport Corridor of Lakeview, one of the hottest neighborhoods in Chicago. Southport Ave is lined with coffee shops, taquerias, fine dining, boutiques, and the Music Box Theatre. Wrigley Field is a 10-minute walk — close enough to feel the energy on game day, far enough that the street stays calm. Parks with playgrounds and basketball courts sit on corners all through the neighborhood. Lake Michigan's beaches are about a 20-minute walk east, or a quick Divvy bike ride.
GETTING AROUND
You can do this whole trip without a car. The Southport Brown Line station is about a 10-minute walk and the Addison Red Line about 12 minutes — between them you've got the Loop, the theater district, and connections to both airports. Several CTA bus lines run within a few blocks, and Divvy bike stations are nearby for the lakefront trail and beach runs.
The Addison and Irving Park busses are nearby and can take you to the Blue Line and O'Hare Airport as well. Ride sharing (e.g. Lyft, Uber) is readily available 24 hours a day.
Wrigley Field is a 10-minute walk, so game day needs no parking plan at all. If you do drive, street parking is on a Zone 383 residential permit street — we provide one complimentary guest pass per night of your stay (1 car). It's first-come street parking, not a reserved spot, and on Cubs night-game days the zone is enforced from 5 p.m., so get parked and display the pass before then.
