Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
This designer 2-bedroom apartment is located in Chicago's Tri-Taylor neighborhood on the city's South Side, offering a bright and spacious layout with thoughtful design touches throughout. Unlike a traditional hotel, this is a private rental unit ideal for travelers wanting a home-like base with modern comforts. An on-site garage parking space is included with every stay, a rare perk in this part of the city.
Rooms & Layout
The apartment features two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill style full bathroom with a spacious stand-up shower and full vanity. The interior is described as bright and airy, with designer touches interspersed throughout the living spaces. A crib is available on request, making the layout adaptable for families traveling with an infant.
Amenities
The unit is fully equipped for extended stays, including a microwave, oven/stove, and washer for self-catering and laundry needs. Guests also have access to air conditioning, heating, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, and an ironing board, and the entire property is smoke-free. Free parking via the included on-site garage adds convenience rarely found in dense urban neighborhoods.
Dining & Nearby Food
The immediate area is dense with dining options within a few minutes' walk, including Bacci Pizzeria on Taylor Street, Rosati's Pizza Chicago, Jerky Jerk Jamaican restaurant, Westside Gyros, Baba Pita Mediterranean & Persian Cuisine, Doll's Kitchen And Catering, and Johnna's Cafe for soul food. This variety makes it easy to eat well without needing a car for every meal.
Location & Transit
Tri-Taylor sits within walking distance of the Taylor & Oakley bus station (165m) and a short trip from several Chicago train hubs, including Western Avenue Station, Chicago Union Station, Ogilvie Transportation Center, and LaSalle Street Station, all under 4.3km away. Chicago Midway International Airport is about 11km away, while O'Hare is roughly 22km away, giving guests flexible options for air travel.
Best for
This apartment suits travelers who want space, privacy, and self-catering convenience, such as families or small groups touring downtown Chicago, thanks to its two bedrooms, full kitchen equipment, and included garage parking. It's also well suited to guests who prioritize walkable dining, with numerous pizza, Mediterranean, Jamaican, and soul food restaurants all within a few blocks.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the included on-site garage parking rather than relying on street parking, which is not guaranteed in this area. The nearby Taylor & Oakley bus stop and multiple downtown train stations (Western Avenue, Union Station, Ogilvie, LaSalle Street) make it easy to reach the Loop and other parts of the city without a car. If flying in, note that Midway Airport is the closer option at roughly 11km versus O'Hare at about 22km.
